Last painting of 2007: "Death" (or the meaning of Life)

Three 16 x 20" Acrylic on Canvas, $700

In reflection of having recently read "The Alchemist" I think --- Ultimately what interests me is the alchemy of pain to peace and fear to love. It is in this catalytic process I rest as I paint, always seeking solutions – and trying to listen to the answers as they come. As in hypnagogic dreamy awareness when we caress the mountains and glide across the seas, I wonder how it is we can become a breeze. As visionaries postulate that from here to 2012 we are experiencing an acceleration of time and expansion of consciousness, I wonder what it means when you feel everything tingling and it is always 11:11 in your mind. Perhaps the alchemical process is an intense catharsis of karma, releasing the past and the fears that weigh us down, until our vision becomes so light as to see from whence this hologram originates? Enjoy this new art series… it is the beginning of my answer to the question - what is the world without time?

Happy Holidays!!! I miss you (even if I haven't met you yet...)

Newly released - fifteen painted sketches posted today here on homepage and on myspace. These sketches capture a moment of space, time, & feeling often extrapolated upon in my larger paintings. Some are from as far back as 2002. Explore and enjoy!

For those of you following my travels- the summer painting tour across America was a definite growing experience. I made it to the Grand Canyon as planned and painted at the edge... My Dad got a new heart in Vegas (a defibrillator) and is luckily now well recovered and back into martial arts. My daughter brags about how she has climbed mountains (Guadalupe Mts. New Mexico, a fave). In between the insanity of travelling, camping, and caring for my family- I did manage to paint quite a bit. Little by little as I approach a greater state of clarity I am finishing up a very strong body of work again exploring space, time, life, death, and trusting the Universe.
