A new batch of paintings available!

These nine new paintings are now available. I have many, many more that are in various stages of completion that will follow in the coming weeks. The early days of spring have had me up early and painting just about every morning. It is a habit that has saved me—painting, writing, reading—considering all kinds of art and nature, as well as the creative path of others. Finding peace, telling the truth, looking for beauty in the darkness—these are lifelong pursuits.

The poet Allen Ginsberg said, "Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does."

The path…

The path, the shadow,
the song, the sun,
the moon, the bloom—
the poet’s companion.

The late spring night sky…

The late spring night sky,

new moon with a nebula,

Orion, so close.

Electric blue sky...

Electric blue sky.
Before I see them,
I hear a V of geese.

On his March birthday...

On his March birthday,
thinking of Jack Kerouac,
and the world explodes.

At the water's edge...

At the water’s edge,
a reflection of the sky,
in small living things.
