Bayou City Arts Festival … three, two .. one: THIS WEEKEND …. booth 301
I’m watching the weather for this upcoming weekend in Houston and it’s looking high of 85 and clear. My background in weather makes Jim Cantore interesting to me but on this day, as I’ve been following the Houston weather forecast for a while, I’m focused on seeing the rain has largely passed for this beautiful … Continue reading
May 2 & 3 – Galveston Island, Pier 21
It is the finale of my spring schedule and I’m returning to Texas for the new Bayfront Blues & Fine Arts Festival. The weather for the weekend looks fantastic! Pier 21 is the location and both Saturday & Sunday the event is from 10-6. I would love to see you again! As I am getting … Continue reading
Welcome 2026?
Here we are in a brand New Year! I’ve seen comments online, “How about we circle back to a gently used year, like 1994? Or, “Can we simply return this year?” (as if it were purchased on Amazon).No doubt the population is tired. There is nothing wrong with the year except so much of what … Continue reading
Cyanotype Sunrise bursts onto the scene
My writing is all but buried within my art these days, and has been for quite some time. Things I used to say in words I now put into my paintings and sometimes I talk about that and most of the time I don’t. I’ve been busy with my new Instagram; I say busy but … Continue reading
Rockport 2018 and the events preceding
The beginning of a day, the end of a day: both beautiful. Time out, time to look back …. now that the events have passed ….. because it was such a super special weekend, the entirety in a state of grace. The beginning: morning came, I was prepared; I thought I was prepared. Something larger … Continue reading
Art offers sanctuary
Alain de Botton has quickly become my favourite new philosopher and in case you have not yet made his acquaintance I would like to introduce you to him. There is a series of videos connected to his School of Life but the one I watched for the second time today is through Rijksmuseum discussing Art as … Continue reading
Press one for happy birthday
It is not for lack of content I have taken some time from writing this blog. If anything, there is an exceeding amount of content; so much so, it is challenging to know where to begin. I have had the good fortune of two visits to Manhattan in the past six months. There are so … Continue reading
Like the wave of the sea
For all my talk of light conservation, I LOVE TIMES SQUARE. No one is more surprised than I am. I love it there; I visited many times while in New York over Christmas. Each time enjoying the subtle differences of the experience. The lights, the traffic – I tend to have an affinity for traffic … Continue reading
No time like the present
No time like the present to resume blogging. As I sit here, early, Houston being here. From the hotel window, I could see soccer players late last night under the lights at Memorial Park. I don’t believe in outdoor lighting aside from sporting events – and not for events like in giant dome buildings but … Continue reading
Part of me has gone there to stay
I met Optimus Prime, yesterday, thanks to my eight year old son who invited me to the most recent Transformers movie. I admit, the ONLY reason I agreed to go to the movie yesterday was to spend two hours sitting beside my son and to do something he wanted to do that appeared to make … Continue reading
