Sunday

It is Sunday and we enjoy going to church at Calvary Chapel in Santa Barbara' It rained last night, but, today the sun should come out. Been trying to get on the art walk to display some of my paintings. I need to do some official paperwork this week. Julie is a great supporter of my work.

Monday

Each weekend Julie go to movies and shop and go to different resturants on State street. The beautiful city has a European atmosphere. The streets are full of tourists and local shoppers. State street hall blocks of interesting shops and quirky boutique's.

My Art

Today, I added a link to my art work on Yessy.com. I hope you comment on them, so that I can grow as an Oil Painter. It hard to get your name established in this field. I've been painting for 30 years and now, I want to sell my painting and move on to a new stage. Perhaps more abstract or impressionistic. I'n not big on realism, but respect painters that can paint realism. I like to feel free and take chances to discover new way to look at the world. Anyway I hope you at least spend a few minutes to chek out my work and feel free to comment. If you like a certain painting, writr or comment or e-mail me and make an offer. I plan on painting 30 new paintings for 2009 and need the money and space. Paint is expensive and I am just beginning. So any reasonable offer will be considered. The way the economy is right now, I beleave it is a great ime to invest in an up and comming artist. After all I could make a name fore my self here in Santa Barbara real soon.

Wednesday

As an artist I try to capture my feelings and some how transfer it to my work. Like an actor I want to express my truth and make it real. I wan to discover what makes great art great. Some times I feel like a candle in the wind. It is mystical how we keep searching to find meaning in what our heart wants and needs. I keep trying to make my time on earth worthwhile. To find peace in time of war requires a collective mindset to change our world and make it better. Some call it the collective conscious. It require that we all use our gifts and tallents to make our stay here on earth better. So I will try to create a series of paintings for 2009 with that in mind. How I plan to do that is a mystery. Beauty is one of the great mysteries and I want to capture it in my paintings.

Tuesday

Today is filled with possabilities. Oil painting is my work and soon I'll start a series for 2009. It feels to me that the whole world is open again to a renewal of hope. Some how I want to capture it in my work. How to do that is about processing and opening my eyes to the spirit and beauty of Santa Barbara. Maybe, just maybe we can all work together and do Camalot

Monday Monday

We both got up at 4:30 AM. Julie gets ready while I type this. She is a very beautiful woman and I am a lucky guy. As I work to get established as an artist, she is behind me all the way and that is super cool.
