Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time

Nothing is easy to the unwilling

New Year's Resolution :

Only put off until tomorrow, what you are willing to die left undone

Plein air paintings

Love is more pleasant than marriage for the same reason that novels are more amusing than history.

My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Art has been a gift in my life. It has allowed me to live more richly and fully than I could otherwise imagine. But I'm especially lucky because art found me; I didn't find it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.

New Painting

Every moment is a golden one for her who has the vision to recognize it as such.

I will preach with my brush.

A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.

In every living thing there is the desire for love

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual painter.

The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
