Before I post about the horror that occurred in the world in recent days, I want to share something pretty to overshadow ugliness with beauty. This is a photograph I took several years ago, and I have always thought it was very peaceful to look at. The world is mourning the dead in Paris after …
This was another crazy busy week for me, as will the next few be until our show opens at the Winnsboro Center For the Arts. If you click over, you can see the awesome poster that was made for “Scrooge.” It features the two actors who have played Scrooge and Marley since we first started …
It was a wonderful weekend for me, spending time with one of my sons and visiting with all the artists and authors at the Fine Art Market and Author Showcase in my little town. But the highlight of the weekend was the gift I received from Ted Armulowicz, an amazing artist who does wood turning …

First I want to share a few pictures of the Texas sky I took recently. I do love the many cloud formations that I can see early in the morning and at sunset. There is something so awe-inspiring about the splendid colors splashed across the backdrop of blue. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so …
Like most people, I am dismayed at the latest in too many mass killings, that as President Obama said following the tragedy in Oregon, “Have become routine.” How sad is that? A friend on Facebook pointed out that there has been over 275 mass shootings so far in 2015, and I was shocked. Checking to …
Thought I would start us off with a chuckle today. I saw this on Facebook and thought it was a hoot. Don’t we all feel like this some days? And I’m especially feeling it this morning after hearing about another mass shooting. Is it ever going to end? For some time I have been saying …
