Set Your Spirit Free


I usually do not title my paintings. Sometimes I do not even feel like signing them. This time, however, the fancy just struck me to name this one and I like the inspiration behind its title. They are kind of difficult to see, but I hope you notice the two birds flying in the upper left hand sky. If you click on the pic, it should enlarge for you.

One usually knows when a work is done, even if it is not something of which one is particularly pleased. Many of an artist has totally ruined an acceptable piece by trying too hard to make it better. So, I do think that I am done here.


"I have heard it said that artists have a need to release a certain kind of creative energy. I can kind of relate to that." Dale Chihuly

-Author Unknown

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.

" The 3 essential elements of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

While my paintings are escapism, the real world reminds me daily of the work we have yet to do and the purpose that we serve. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12: 48

"Had lots of fun being a quirky artiste for a day! There was a cool band that played some great classic rock tunes. The temperature was well into the nineties. I loved basking in the sunshine. If you enjoy talking about art, this is a really easy way of meeting interesting people."
