Lakeshore Memorial
The Story Behind The Print - Lakeshore Memorial - Friends of ours who own a beautiful lakeshore home were in the process of renovating , or rather rebuilding the home of their dreams. Mixed emotions - we have all had the difficult job of "getting rid of things". But what about memories? How do you easily throw away items that have such vivid memories attached? I felt their sense of loss and had previously promised myself if I had to "get rid of something" that held deep memories I would at least shoot it first (photographically). That way I would hold on to the memories and perhaps have it live forever. This print is a memory of the "supports" that held up that precious old home, but had to go due to the necessity and the dream of re-building. I could have called this print "Memorial of Thankfulness". I dedicate this print to my friends who we appreciate so much. Many great shared family memories exist along with the struggles! The family ingeniously had a creative plan to let those memories live on but, in a new setting!Type rest of the post here

Thanks to Theresa Kingston and Cheryl Hamilton, two members of the committee for their valuable assistance. Also a big thank you to Vaughn Chase who permitted me to do some research at the Chase & Warren Vineyard. Read More...

What To Draw Today # 4
The Story Behind The Drawing - What To Draw Today # 4 is a drawing which allows me to explore disparate elements within my drawings. I usually draw on a page of paper within my Visual Journal and complete a single page to my satisfaction. I then process each drawing using special software to play with variations. This allows me to create large "field drawings" where new visual relationships emerge.

New Beginnings 2
The Story Behind The Painting – New Beginnings 2 - The painting, New Beginnings 2 started on top of New Beginnings 1. This painting on paper was built on history and started from a design I created in 1969 after my studies in New York at Pratt Institute. It contains imagery related to my past, my present and my future. I am indebted to many fine teachers in my past and dedicate this painting to them as I start my new beginnings.
Thanks, Bill West, Gordon Smith, Bob Steele, Sam Black, Penny Gouldstone, Walter Rogalski, George McNeil, Norman Yates and so many others! Read More...
