Mark and Tom acrylic on board 70" x 48" Mark saw the first painting of the Life Series - the color, numbers and size resonated with him inspiring him to commission me to do a painting with dates pertinent to him and his partner. It was a joy to paint ......

A reoccurring theme in my work has been OPEN and CLOSED. When I am OPEN to life, I soar..... when I am CLOSED to life ... I don't... it's really as simple as that. May I be open today and this week... and the same goes for you.

I have a gorgeous leather sketchbook I do something creative every day. These sketches are like my 'warm ups' to get me in the vortex of creating. It seems this practice is really working for me - -- what practices are working for you?

I Am Forty-Five - so.... of course, I had forty five 12" x 12" panels made to commemorate and to show at upcoming shows at LCCC in September and Marquis Art and Frame in Scranton in October. I like this phase - the ideas are coming and I execute - create and love - it's all I want to do.

Rob Friedman had vision when he reopened the Beaumont Inn - and people are showing up to take part in wonderful food on the outdoor patio, in the dining area, bar area and now the newly renovated wine cellar. The setting is so beautiful we decided to bring some of the outside "in" with a view from the gardens looking back to the inn. The opposite wall showcases the talents of Cindy Trudgen with the look being as if you were in an actual wine cellar with barrels of wine. Many people are booking special occasion - from Anniversary dinners, showers and weddings. Thanks Rob!

"Only what has been covered up many times can emerge, immersed, brought up, immersed, brought up, until it flowers and blooms and becomes in its own radiance, spells out its own creative meaning and LIVES. Only then can we stop our making, let it FLY on its own as all things mean and are meant to soar in spirit, for FREEDOM is the ground from which we rise, nor should we ever limit the horizon, imagination infinitely expands and gives up room for ceaseless change and endless growth." Richard Pousette-Dart

Recently I went to the Guggenheim in New York to see the Christopher Wool exhibit which I enjoyed but was completely taken by a side gallerly curated by Lauren Hinkson named "Lasting Images". The piece that drew me in by Mona Hatoum was vertical wires suspended in a cube which shifted and changed as you walked along side it. On closer inspection you saw the the wire were actually barbed wire.... "it's ethereal form belies a forboding presence."

Lately my commissons have been a co-creating experience. The client wanted something that would stand the test of time for her husband. He loves ... I mean really loves MUSIC and plays the guitar - this is how he unwinds in his 'mans cave'. So we came up with a close up of a guitar with some special meaning obscured in the center plus his birth date. The verdict... he can't stop talking about it.....

![]() Mural for Norhteastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic Hanover Street , Wilkes Barre, Pa When I ring the Singing Bowl my aunt and uncle gave me, I realize the power of that sound. Somehow the sound permeates the walls and joins another vibe in the universe which grounds me to the present moment. I recently did this mural for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic. The image reminds me of the crossing of the senses which often is heightened through and by art.

![]() Today ![]() Yesterday After and Before..... Market Street Murals for Allstate and A Shoe Boutique by Arch Comfort...... Last week was a perfect week to be painting the murals on Market Street Kingston, Pa. The idea started when Ivan and Cheri of 'Shoe Boutique' wanted to put their shop on the map. They have great shoes- what makes them 'great' is they are comfortable and cool. Now when people are driving by - they will take note of two businesses that were otherwise fading into the background. Like my dad always said " it's amazing what a little paint can do..... !" |
