Why make art? Communication, certainly. Connection, definitely! Some clients look at my work and are taken to a place in their past and a calm, happy feeling over takes them. What a connection! A pet portrait client will exclaim, "That's her. That's my Baby!" I was plein-aire painting one day and a lady stopped and said, "You're making it look better then it does". That brought the scene into her and she was smiling when she walked away. I'll continue to make art and connect

Here's the mixed media painting of the elephant titled "Ancient Wisdom". I used pencil, oil paint, acrylic paint (including silver and gold), molding paste, cut and torn paper, stamping and markers on two canvases. Lots' of fun!
