"It has been said that finding a friend is like finding a treasure. Hold them closely and cherish them greatly."
An Art Blog that seeks to reconcile the beauty of joy with the inexplicable challenges that we face each day. From an artist's perspective, life is never a dichotomy; never black or white or even shades of gray. I am constantly on the "look out" for God's Promised Rainbow.

Still Searching for Bliss
I let my inner impulse roam free these days, searching the world for the perfect picture to paint. It's one of those "you know it when you see it" moments. I gasp, my heart skips a beat and I am in love. Then I realize it is a photo of Giverny. Monet's garden. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It is very funny that I can not seem to deviate from this attraction but very sad because painting it would hardly be original. Perhaps some day I will have saved up enough of my pennies and landscape my very own Japanese Garden to paint. In the meantime, well, I just have to depend on my imagination!

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.

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
