In 2016, was noticed by Collector's Internationally and honored to be purchase by international collector's. * None of my pieces are done in a day they would be under Slow Art. Slow Art principles, the viewing of art under Slow Art is a slow and meditative process. To properly view a work of art, it must be viewed and pandered over for a duration of time. Under Slow Art works of art are an expression of a devotional life process. One of my pieces was started in the 1970's and took me 43 years to complete. The walk into the master was inspiring and spiritual and yours in a gallery should be as up lifting and inspiring as the art that was created. Enjoy.

The art of writing for me is like a painting.
You have an idea of what you want to paint, (like a face). Is it a woman's face or a man's? Is the face thin or fat? What kind of facial characteristics does it have? That is in the background? Are there other people in the scene of the painting? Is it a realistic work of art or more open to the imagination like an abstract? Well, all writing has some reality in it from the writer's world. Some have more realism in there's than others. Mine are a combination of both. Some are stories within stories. Ernest Hemmingway was good at this. Some writers start with outlines on paper. I start with an idea in my head and the main characters. Then I sit down and write. No outline of the story on paper, just write. I see the story in my head the people faces and streets the view from the windows and so on. It is like viewing a movie in your head, which to me is the way to write. The reader needs to see the story in their head as you do. Plus, smell it and sometimes taste it? This may make them hungry, so they grab a sandwich but it should also make them hunger to read more. In school many times the teacher would tell us to get out a piece of paper and write a story, sometimes there was a theme, like an attic and a picture to write from. Other times it was just free writing open to your imagination. I would be the first to start and the last to finish. The teacher would love the stories but oh brother, the red marks for the spelling or grammar. But it always said at the top of the paper "Great story". Once a teacher ask me if I wrote it? I laughed the funny things was it was one that had been written during class so who else could have written it. The art of writing is in the minds eye. The vision of the writer is just like the artist or painter. Has a dancer I would do a 10 warm up... In my journal on this site you will find my 10 Minute Waltz on Paper for my warm up. I hope you enjoy waltzing with me in the stories and stuggles. My dearest noble readers and new vistors |
