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

The art of life. The thing about life is that life happens. Sometimes, it gets busy. My goal is to keep it not so. I have no interest in proceeding through the rest of my life in a hurried fashion. I have tried that and found it does not work for me in the leastest. … Continue reading

I am starting Character of Texas Portrait Company. Something I have been working toward all my life. The first portrait I ever made, I was in Hawaii.
