Departure

I thought I would depart momentarily from the series of flora and fauna that I have been working on to something no less equally interesting.

I have heard it said that people enter into, and depart our lives for a reason, some good, some bad; but all with a lesson to be learned if we pay attention.  But in truth, varying  in significance, of course, I think everyone that was a part of our lives stays with us forever in our thoughts and memories.  Despite our efforts to banish the unpleasant ones.

I never understood people that end up hating someone they once loved; of course that is just me, and I readily admit to not being able to comprehend hating anyone.

Anyhow, today I am showing some portraits of someone I will always know.

These are in watercolor. If anyone would like to have a portrait done, send me an inquiry.

First of all, let me borrow a line from the Grateful Dead...what a long strange trip its been. I grew up in Appalachia, not far from Wheeling, West Virginia. I decided at seventeen that working in the coal mines was not for me and soon found myself standing at an on-ramp with my thumb out. It was the Sixties and adventure beckoned. I'm a self taught artist, primarily focusing on the natural world. I enjoy painting the flora and fauna of this beautiful planet. I currently live in Arizona, and most of my recent works reflect the inhabitants of the Sonoran desert.
