Art took me by surprise. I’ve spent my life as a writer. But one day, at the end of a long, stressful week, I saw a photo of my children in some beloved woods and thought, “Hmmm. I think I’ll paint that.”
I dug out some paints. For the next 3 hours, I thought of nothing but color, form, light and that memory. The painting wasn’t great, but the feeling was bliss. I’ve been chasing it ever since.
I’m still learning every day, inspired by the lands and people around me at my home in Northern California and elsewhere. Art has literally changed the way I see the world. I’ve decided to share it with you here, and I hope you enjoy it!
