2004 – August 25th, 2016
This one is for my cat Kalli. My friend and companion. I’ve never had to make the choice to end the life of someone I loved before. To feel her die while I held her head in my hand…it’s something I will never forget.
I miss you.

“Soft goes gold, brown.
New green. New plans.
New things and happenings.”
Oh the flush. The rapid transition of sap greens – new grass and leaves. It makes me anxious…excited…sometimes apprehensive. It reveals and exposes; urges and pressures. So much change, so much expected. All the new life.

Winter 2016 – Arch, Ice, Glow
“In the low-light my eyes find sparks and traces.
All swimming about. All giving a shout.
Images shifting off one onto the other.
All glow. All vibrate. All within and without.
All calm and graces.”
To the disbelief of many, winter is a season I really quite enjoy – especially December when the light is low and often glows along the horizon. I like the dark. I like the cold. I love the feeling of early sunsets at the height of the year. And I love the chinook arches…the deep feelings and broad expanses.

Late Autumn 2015 – Full of Spaces & Deeper Things
All the yellow that bursts and pops until it’s all golden brown. Deep blues going pale. Deep things being felt in even deeper spaces…all stretching out across the land.

Afterword
It has been a challenging year since my last work was posted but as always, painting was there…paintings were made; found and danced with, yelled at and rejoiced in. With each piece I finished, the task of documenting and posting piled up….and then I decided to redo the whole site. So. Needless to say, I’m very pleased and relieved to have this current entry up and, more or less, completed. To put them altogether into one “super post” seemed both appropriate and necessary; I really would rather be making (and dancing) than sitting at the computer. And ONE in this case, as a concept and a to-do-list, was much more palatable than FOUR. It also brings me a lot of delight to see these works come together and express a year in seasons. I love that process of change…of contrast…of four worlds that feel very differently but reflect the whole of experience and move life forward.
