"Old Church"

8 x 10 (plein air)
This is an old church on Beth Page road in south Georgia. Some nice friendly people live around the area and stopped to see the painting in progress. Also saw a flock of about ten wild turkeys. Nice quiet Sunday afternoon.

Favorite Billy Collins Poem

Horizon

You can use the brush of a Japanese monk
or a pencil stub from a race track.

As long as you draw the line a third
the way up from the bottom of the page,

the effect is the same: the world suddenly
divided into its elemental realms.

A moment ago there was only a piece of paper.
Now there is earth and sky, sky and sea.

You were sitting alone in a small room.
Now you are walking in the heat of a vast desert

or standing on the ledge of a winter beach
watching the light on the water, light in the air.

by Billy Collins
from the book "The Art of Drowning"

Quotes

I feel like my job as an artist is to craft the very finest work that I can possibly do. . . . To craft it lovingly and carefully like this is my one and only opportunity in life to get it right.
