upside down

Untitled piece inspired by Martin Mull, Acrylics on Loose Canvas, Winter 2007

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

It snowed on December 5th in Lakeville Connecticut.

Achieve

Somebody told me that when you hit a wall, you ought to look back. Now see and learn how far you've come and how much you've grown. So turn back around and find the door.

Here's to my very first painting. worst painting too! I even did this one on a grid.

But hey, you've gotta start somewhere right?

November

Seeing Old Friends

And you'll always wish that they'd stay just a little longer.

piece inspired by Simplex Muditiis by Ben Johnson 1573-1637

STILL to be neat, still to be drest,
As you were going to a feast;
Still to be powdr’d, still perfumed:
Lady, it is to be presumed,
Though art’s hid causes are not found,	5
All is not sweet, all is not sound.
Give me a look, give me a face
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
Such sweet neglect more taketh me	10
Than all th’ adulteries of art;
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

Clothes are for moments in a Women's life. A dress she can depend on, one that is timeless but comfortable to wear and appropriate for her life.

Getting up early for your cup of morning coffee dressed in pretty is a ritual for the perfect day to come. perhaps tomorrow
