Most of my time I spend trying to create (or find) order, connection or purpose in my surroundings. It should be no surprise to me that in my paintings the same thing happens. For me, art is a visual expression of an emotional connection to something, whether it is a landscape, a single flower, or a thought. Every piece tells a story and it’s wonderful if my story touches the soul of the viewer too.

SAWG at Arizona Sonora Desert Museum

"Desert Grandfathers" and "Steppin' Out" were juried into the 12th annual exhibition of the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild in the Ironwood Gallery at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
The show runs from July 19th to September 7th and the gallery is open 10am-4pm. I spent the morning last Thursday at the museum and I especially enjoyed the hummingbird exhibit. I took many, many photos of them that may appear in future paintings. There was a hummingbird guard who "buzzed" around all who entered. I even caught a few "in flight" but just as many escaped my view finder. They were very busy considering the heat.

Were I called on to define very briefly the term art, I should call it "the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul." Edgar Allen Poe
