      "Forward and backward I have gone, and for me it has been an immense journey..... Perhaps there is no meaning in it at all, the thought went on inside me, save that of the journey itself, so far as men can see.  It has altered with the chances of life, and the chances brought us here; but it was a journey -- long, perhaps -- but a good journey under a pleasant sun.  Do not look for the purpose.  Loren Eiseley,  Naturalist - THE IMMENSE JOURNEY.

THE OPEN ROAD! Field work for new paintings


14 April 2011 -- Finished the Rio Chama painting late last month - varnished, framed it and sent it off to it's new home in Cambria, California on Monday.  Spent the rest of Monday and most of Tuesday feeling "post-ARTum" blues.  Took off in search of orchards with apple blossoms -- about a week too early.  Wandered for most of the day.  These past two weeks have gathered much new material -- planning some large canvases - new "environments" - am very excited.  I LOVE large blank canvases -- like reading a long book that you can't put down!  Also planning to add some new smaller auction paintings.  To receive my Studio Newsletter with the latest paintings, send your e.address via the sign-up on this page.  I will be happy to send you photos of my new work!  ENJOY!  DC
