Look for the "Seed"

So here we are in the middle of this Covid-19 Pandemic. People are hunkered down at home and watching news and movies. Many artists like myself have limited our time away from home to paint plein air.  That we are all experiencing a "new normal" is an understatement. But one quote by Napoleon Hill keeps coming back to me and helps me address this adversity that we find ourselves in. I hope it helps anyone reading this:

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." 

He goes on to explain that we must, each one of us, find our own personal "seed" in whatever adversity we face and then nurture and grow it until it becomes that "equal or greater benefit".

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home.

Event Announcement

It's been way too long since I blogged but I'm still here.

Pleased to announce I have had all five of my entries juried into the
Top Shelf Invitational Small Works by the Sonoran Arts League
Feb. 21 - March 15/2020.
The reception will be Feb. 21/2020  5pm - 8pm at:
Sonoran Arts League at Stage Coach Village
7100 E. Cave Creek Rd., Suite 144
Cave Creek, Arizona  85331

This should be a great exhibit with some highly talented artists' works to view and purchase if you see something you simply need hanging on one of your walls.  Hope to see you there.

Here are two of the five paintings I have in the show.
