“Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart.”
I enjoy music of all types. I play the guitar and keyboard at church. I’m a history buff, which impacts the content of my art. Of course I love doing things with my family.
Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Cezanne, Chinese Ink Wash paintings
Too many to list, but I would start with the South Pacific.
Barring the possibility of time travel, I’d think floating down White River in a canoe would be my current favorite place.
I was too shy in high school to ask Diana to go on a date, so I made a bet that I could make a better pizza than she could. Diana’s been my wife now for almost 43 years!
Well my wife’s still with me after 43 years. That may say more about her than me though....
“Napa 1” - This is a favorite because it’s the first artwork I completed after my eyesight was restored.
“Strong Heart” - Although not my best work, it’s my favorite. It’s based on the bedside monitor after my middle daughter had open heart surgery. These are very good numbers for just three days after surgery. She was released the next day.
”Disappearing Railroad Blues” - I am just really happy with the way this turned out. It reflects my love of history, tells a story, and evokes emotion.
I once was blind but now I see!
