    what if.......

    I love to include water in all my paintings-most from imagination. Tracey Chapman is on now. Getting back to painting is something I imagine is like writers block -you really need to have want to do it.-acrylic or oils??

    Kat you must have some good coffee-or a real short sleep schedule-god bless ya!

    oh man...that's awful. thanks for the compliments! I love Dido! That's neat about the water and sky together...it took me a long time to get that right. and then one day i stopped looking at the outside world, like the sky, water...in 3 dimensions...i looked at it 2 dimensionally and then began to see it come together ...it just clicked.

    Ya gotta tell the ones you love that you love them-too many times this goes undone.

    Then jump out of a plane-never had the guts to do it but in this situation...

    A quote i came up w/ long ago

    w/ what little time we have we must...

    you complete the quote

    That is a great song! I love that song. I like what you said about never giving up. That is a big deal. A lot of people will give up...and I think that leads to death...maybe not physical death all the time, but death of your spirit...your dreams...

    what if.......

    IDK, thats a hard question. sure there are alot of things i would change, but if did would i be where i am now? would i have the ppl in my life i have now? wife kids... or would everything be different or worse? looking back theres alot i would change but not if it meant sacrificing my family. I dont think i would treat ppl differently i think i do a great job now. I laugh alot anyway i dont think i can laugh any more im a joker. definatly i would cry less!! there would be alot of questions i would have for the dr. but i would never give up even if he said there is no chance for survival. Just listen to the tim magraw song: live like you were dying !

    more updates...

    listening to a little Evanescence tonight..."I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
    And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
    Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone"

    yup. 550am...i've been painting....

    acrylic, mixed medium...i use real sand from Durand Beach mixed in with the paint. i have four "favorite" brushes and my fingertips for getting the look i want. water droplets are actually tiny specks of polyurathene. i get lost in this stuff!

    it's amazing where you can go when you paint...my mind drifts off in a million different directions...sometimes i am not even aware that i am painting...i think of moments in my life that were truly peaceful...and sink into the fabric of that comfortable blanket....tonight i could hear the waves splashing up against the rock..feel the mist on my face...the taste of salt....and dream of happier times...in the past...in the present...in the years to come.
