Wow 9 months since I posted..

Hi, yes, sorry about that. Lots has happened. I moved back to the Quarry Art Center

I’ve decided to make the blog (and the site) more inclusive of all my creative activities so I’m going to try a slightly different format starting today.

First off a recent painting, it’s in my shop too!

Late afternoon path 7x10

Also I’m really interested in making music so here’s a recent tune I finished this weekend:

Pretty exciting what you can do with the Squarespace blog now. I can upload audio files so maybe a bit of podcasting could occur here as well.

Well, thats September 14, a chilly Monday. Take good care and stay out of trouble!
