"Coast Guard Station"

8 x 10 (Plein Air)

This is from St. Simon's Island. I think they call it the Old Coast Guard Station off East Beach Road. I did a workshop with Ray Roberts who is a nationally known painter from California. Had a great time and learned alot.

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.
