- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I pored over art books and absorbed the placidness of Monet's garden, the sparkling color of the Impressionists, the strength and solidity of Michelangelo's figures showing the titanic power of humans at one with God, Jan Vermeer's serene Dutch women bathed in gorgeous honey-colored light... My conviction grew that art was stronger than death.

- God
- |

I made my personal discovery of Emily Carr while visiting Victoria in 1981 to write a travel article. Immediately, her strong colors attracted me; her spunk fascinated me. Her down-to-earth voice in her writing appealed to me as authentic and original.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is so much strife and tension in the world that I find the silent world of paintings from the past both hopeful and healing.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me, art begets art. Painting feeds the eye just as poetry feeds the ear, which is to say that both feed the soul.
- Colors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
