Now Showing at the LAA Landscape Invitational

My watercolor "Barn by the Cove" was selected by the prestigious jurors of the Lyme Art Association for the "Landscape Invitational" show, now in progress in Old Lyme, CT. What a nice feature that you can view the artwork online! My art was also selected for the "Works on Paper", and "Summer Painting", so make sure you check those out too!

Barn by the Cove was painted 'en plein air' at the Wethersfield Cove in the spring. The trees were just budding and the sun was highlighting the barn at, I think, 550 Main Street. The purple shadows on the road were the icing on the cake!

Poppies by the Sea

Poppies by the sea will be on exhibition in the Glastonbury ART WALK, a first I believe for this town.

Where did all the innocence go?

What Happened to our innocence. Why can we adore a baby? They have innocence. But what is innocence anyways. Can we continue to have innocence even now that we are grown? I propose that it is possible, and to be innocent is to be without sin, to be at one with our true nature. BEING HUMAN.

check out the young people's initiative.

Introduction to the Keys

I just found this great website with video and introduction to the keys. What are the keys? well, just link to this web site and find out. It is a free DVD course taught by Prem Rawat that will help one find their way to inner peace. Just knock, and the door shall be opened - or someone might give you a KEY.

Someone can point the way, but it's all up to you. Change your perspective on life, know who you truely are. This is what Prem Rawat has done for me. I may not always be at peace, but I know how to get there!
