"Mayport Shrimper"

8 x 10

Hey, still here. Yeah, still painting. It's been tough because I've had alot of extra time required by my real job. (I'm writing this like I have all these fans checking my blog for the last six months wondering what was going on. Yeah glad you kept looking Dad!)

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.
