I went heavy into gardening when the kids were toddlers, which was something I could do together when they were small, and I sketched a lot and did watercolors and lots of painting projects with them, like visual journaling collage, but my painting really did not start again until they were like five and seven.

I’ve been showing at this Gallery for several years and this year I am showing a new original oil painting “Morning Sun.”

I met some of the warrior painters, some new peeps who meet every weekend to paint. They are so good and I’m happy to meet them bit by bit.

It takes utmost concentration and a disciplined dedication to craft; it is hard work, and just like any type of hard work, it always pays off. More importantly, once you’re there in the midst of the process, that stream of imagination and creativity, it is pure bliss.

I started going to life drawing again at Center Stage Gallery in Burbank, its been a long time…
