Studio WIP (Work In Progress)
Thank you very much to all who support my art production in many ways over many years. As you can see, new works are on their way into the collection from my painting studio. Of course, this wonderful studio competes with my far removed high-tech digital studio, 29 steps away. But, fortunately they are very compatible, bringing new energy daily to each other.
I’m very blessed, and wish the same for you.
Frank
Two for Infinite Joy, Please
In the 23” x 20” framed acrylic on wood painting below, Frank gets whimsical with some Asian characters, have two stick figures joyfully jumping a hurdle together, ripping through the fabric of space and time. This piece is part of an infinity bubble series.
Finding a realistic and sustainable joy is often easier with a trusted partner or group.
Death Poem
There is no death when stars implode
A stream of atoms coalesce in some temporary terminus…
A planet, a person, a life.
We are made of stars yet blindly grope
For fame and immortality, for hope.
If we could only see our brilliance
Or that we are the true alien wanderers,
That we are one and never alone
And already home,
We would find our place in infinity.

The Mysterious…
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
Albert Einstein
Moon
“The moon of mind comprehends all the universe in its light.” Ban-Zan
Space… Instrument
“Any space is as much a part of the instrument as the instrument itself.”
Pauline Oliveros
Masters of the Earth
Following up on yesterday’s post, by request… Here is the Masters of the Earth series, three 24″ x 24″ acrylic on canvas paintings:
We as humans like to point to our mechanical inventions as signs of a superior intelligence, thus granting ourselves the power of dominion over all else in our space. But as Albert Einstein put it:
“A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘the universe.’ Our task must be to widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Home
We made it home.
Be blessed, as you bless others, around your home…
… Thank you very much.
