Poetry titled "True"

Read my Haiku poem just posted titled "True".  In the list on the right of this page, click on "poetry".

I haven't posted any art for quite awhile.  I've been busy with my 9 to 5 career.  Despite that, I have created art that is of a more contemporary subject matter but uses similar techniques to what I previously used.  It's just not displayed here yet.  Figures, portraits, and background fauna have been the focus, with emphasis on our rapidly changing world scene.  I've also been recovering from a car accident for the past few months which has delayed my being able to start some exciting work that I was planning.  New concepts are in the oven.

New Painting titled "Wedding Portrait of Kani and Angi"

I have added a new painting to the section titled 'Original
paintings."  It's a portrait of my brother and his wife.  My thanks to them for letting me display their portrait!

Art Award for "Rag Curls"

Last night at Maple Grove Arts Center I won an award at the juried art show I'm participating in. It was for "Best Art Reflecting Minnesota." Thanks to everyone who stopped by to offer support. The painting I received the award for is "Rag Curls."  It is in my online gallery under the paintings and prints tab.  My friend who is in the painting was delighted with the news last night and as I spoke with her we contemplated how quickly time passes.   Was it so long ago since we were putting rag curls in our hair?  I doesn't seem so.
