Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends. I hope the holiday was great. I took my boys to Napa (where I grew up) and we enjoyed the amazing fall colors while the boys collected chunks of obsidian from the dirt across the road. Cool!



This is what it looks like in the fall in Napa...

Feeling Blocked

I've finally started a new painting! Maybe it's the end of being blocked. I hate to even say "blocked" because it's not like I had a lack of ideas. I just keep censoring everything.


What if it doesn't turn out like I envision it?
Who's gonna buy this?
Should I do a series?




Sheesh! It's enough to kill the creativity before it can even hatch.




So, you can look forward to seeing a new painting in progress on the blog sometime this weekend.


Please check back. AND PLEASE POST! Thanks!

Fall Color


Isn't this just the greatest photo? And I'm not even a photographer. This was taken in Napa near my parents' home. If I remember correctly, it was shot on Thanksgiving day. So, if you're looking for some fall color on the West Coast, head to Napa.


I think I need to paint this.
