Tradition

Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?

The papa, the papa! Tradition!

Holding Hands

Two lovers in love,
Just because, that's why!
Two jellyfish learning,
how love makes you fly.

Lucky Little Sailor

This is Lucky little sailor. Charting his course for adventure at high sea!

Into The Garden - 32x29.5

Front Porch Roses - 16x20

A couple new paintings. I know these aren't really in the style of mine you're used to, but I'm trying this out. I'd love to hear what you think! This weekend I'm going on a 'painting trip', so hopefully I'll have a bunch of new cool stuff in another week or two! Anyway, a couple garden scenes from Ardenwood Farm in Fremont.

New paintings

New year, new paintings.
Taking a break for a minute,
from whimsy,
and smelling some fresh flowers.

Spread Joy!

As the bird flies south
to seek comfort in warmth,
so flies peace, joy,
and forgiveness-
over our homes,
and over our hearts.
Warmth is born,
spread through the chill
of long, cold
winter's night.
A Christmas song,
a gift of life,
a comforting love
has been sent to us.
A joyful life!
