Walking in the Rain
When the moment for action arose rain became my creative inspiration rather than a hurdle. We encounter so many hurdles/obstacles in daily living. These are really an opportunity to change focus, adjust our perspective. For example, my recent experience with tendonitis & sacroiliac joint disfunction was pretty debilitating. After treatment for my joint I was…

It’s never a case of just what I see, it’s an impression, a feeling. Those feelings however can be so expansive and positively overwhelming that I find my work,…
Autumn Sketches
