The last few days have been challenging. I can only hope that someday we, as human beings, will find the compassion and grace to be kind, understanding and at some point be aware of the needs and efforts of others. As it stands now, I can only hope the future is a better place than what it is today. As of now, I think we have a lot of work to do.

In a few days I will be home from a long and tiring trip.

I have a few days to pull together 6 to 10 paintings for a show at the end of the month. So, this is going to be a very exciting and busy return.

I am also looking forward to the spring, one man show at the Katharine Butler Gallery. These are exciting times and busy times.

It looks like I may be teaching two classes this spring as well. Both classes will be “Beginning Art Marketing”. How exciting.

Recent investigations into symbols and icons has led me to believe that there is a universal truth about the human race. it has renewed my interest in many of the world cultures and symbols and how they seem to have transcended the effects of time, space, culture and traveled around the globe. They have became a new real image of human truth, not always limited to cultural truth.
