Welcome

 Life is an ever changing river, full of new experiences, new life, new love, and new music and art that reflect it all.

Some experiences leave more of an impact, some images are branded in our hearts and minds forever.  My life this past year has taken my breath away at times, in both its beauty and frailty. The images range from the sublime to the absurd. My recent  artwork has illustrated this. I have painted , in neon, turtles, castles, and tigers running through the snow. I have also painted angels and Christmas villages.   In the future, I hope to do work that is both honest, as well as  fanciful, in order to find  expression for the  wide range of emotion that I have experienced this year.  Finding that expression should make this whole journey interesting

I will be featuring not only my own artwork, but hopefully, that of others also.  I intend to discuss various techniques to achieve these results,  in depth, hopefully having a separate page just for this "How to... section".  It will include ideas I have collected from other folks, as well - which will all be appropriately notated and cross referenced. (I learn both by doing my self, as well as watching/listening to  others).

 I invite you to stay awhile, and enjoy. And if you feel led, by curiousity or desire to contribute,  please feel free to contact me. Any ideas, suggestions, or possible contributions will be honestly considered.

Again, Welcome to Arts and Flowers. Reflect, Create, Bloom here in sanctuary and peace.
