Welcome to my blog

Hello guest welcome to my imagination realm!  Herein you will find various works of art that I am trying to put in order by their date of creation for my own cataloging.  You will also find some other conceptualizations that I have either proposed here or there and may still be trying to bring to fruition somewhere in the world.

One thing that you must know about me (if you must) and that is that I am not just one that believes in art for arts sake but also believe that the arts could play a roll in society like never before seen.  It is my dream to one day see my wildest ideas come to life in order to transform societies both locally and globally.  I do believe that the key to solving many of man’s ailments and ongoing problems are stored in the imagainations of the artisans, they just need a great marketing team to make them work for society.  I want to be part of assembling this marketing team (of sorts).  You may think this is to far out, but I have to say isn’t it far out that the most creative society in the world still thinks that throwing glorified rocks at enemys will solve the problems?  Why isn’t the imagination being used to come up with really far out ideas to battle wars, to make a dent in poverty and hunger.  I, for one, am an artist stuck painting these ideas/concepts to those who already have their mind up.  I am having to teach and I am not a teacher.  I am one that sees potential and want to keep sharing this potential with others and collectively/synergistically work with others that have talents that I do not have to make these things come to life.

For now I will have to hope that someone is reading this and getting something/anything from my work.  To really see more about my mission please go to http://www.artscollaborative.org

Thanks for visiting.

Artfully Yours,

Newest 3-D Piece

My Quote

Waterlilies in 3-D

Not to much to say about this painting except “It worked!”  I drew it out with a huge goal in 2007 and then it sat in my studio for nearly a year.  It was on the outside of my pile of uncompleted canvases that I go through at least once a month staring at me every time I went out to paint.  I would occasionally put the white canvas with the drawing on it on it on the wall to try to get up the nerve to work on it.  When I finally got up the nerve it flowed like butter and I then had a hard time stopping – just like how it usually goes.  I worked on it at the 2nd annual North Mountain Arts Festival in Hedgesville and had many interested passersby and finally had a commitment from one woman who lived in the area.  The deal was that I could finish it and then have it printed.  It was the first piece of the 3-D series that I had printed and it is selling in various sizes fairly well for this area.

Different Dimensions

New concepts in consideration

Well, I am working again on more community collaborative project ideas and they are taking a lot of my mind time.  In addition to this I am entering an architectural design/concept into a show for architectural ideas in Cleveland Ohio at the Sculpture Center.  The show is called “All You Can Eat” and my submission is titled “Fountain of Youth” and I am really excited that maybe someone will be looking at this idea and that I might be able to get some feed back on it.  This piece is more than just an architectural idea but a centerpiece for a state and an interactive piece that is meant to serve the community and charities around the world.  If you were/are one of my Facebook friends you would get a preview of this concept.

The Fountain of Life

Landscape Unraveled

“The Lanscape Unraveled” was a fun piece to create because of the many challenges that it presented me with.  I think that the painting was successful.  Of course it works great with the 3-D glasses.
