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.

Some people have a bucket list or their 3 wishes already drawn up and ready to go...just in case that genie shows up. Me, I have a pocket full of magical Pixie Dust. Oh, it's not really mine. It was given to me on loan by Zephora the Fairy. She is my tiny, sparkly, diaphanous friend. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Where did I ever find a friend whose name starts with a Z? Her hair is a long swirl of blushing pink, her skin a translucent mystical pale blue and her gown a venerable rainbow of colors that I'm pretty sure is Vera Wang. A shimmering blend of lamé with a touch of spandex to show off her petite physique. She lives in the mist of the most beautiful and colorful place. This is an acrylic painting of her home. Don't confuse Zephora with a gnome whom also lives in nature. Did you know that gnomes have an uncanny ability to stand perfectly still giving them the appearance of not being real? Tee Hee. Someday, when I am not so busy, I shall pay Zephora another visit. In the meantime, I am dreaming about what to do with my pocket full of pixie dust. Smile.

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
