 I've been in a creative Funk!
Partly because the days are short and my energy is low.
Partly because I've been
learning/teaching myself to paint glass and
none are suitable for viewing yet.

When I am in a Really BIG creative Funk I turn to painting the Sun.
I don't know what it is about the Sun?
But it is the one thing that I can sit down and start off the same
way every time and just let them flow out of me.
Each one comes out in it's own unique way and I never have
a clue as to what it is really going to look like
until the muse says to me I am finished.
They don't take me very long to do and they are quite relaxing to paint.
I Love their fiery color and the wonderful texture they get
due to my use of the palette knife.

As we get closer to the winter solstice
and deep in the dark of the longest night.
Sing to the newborn Sun
and may this fiery Sun Storm warm you from within.

Please feel free to hang out in the warmth and fiery energy of this sun 
and then pass it along to someone else
who might be in the need of it's energy as well.

Hang Time,
makes me think of a surfer trying to
Hang onto a wave.
This little Sun Jelly
is doing it's own version of
Hang Time.
Just Hanging out waiting for the next
Ebb or Flow of the surf
to move it along.

I just love painting these Sun Jellies!
There's just something so relaxing and serene
about them, yet they are full
of life and color.
Makes me just want to sit there for hours and watch a whole tank full
of them just floating around.

Please feel free to take a few moments and
hang out with Hang Time.
Enjoy.

As the Shortest day of the Year approaches

I start to Dream in 

SunFlowers. 

Must have something to do with 

only seeing the sun 

for a few hours each day.  

To me, the Sun is Mecca, something I desperately need 

on a daily basis

 The sun gives me Energy and Life.  

With the short days upon us,

I need the 

Happiness and Cheer 

these wonderful sunny flowers bring to me. 

My own Personal Pick Me Up.

Looking
back on painting these
Palm Trees
in non-traditional colors
I think my New England heritage
was making an
Appearance.
Though I may be living in the desert
these days my heart
will always be in New England
in the Fall.
So I guess it was only natural
for me to combine
my fascination with the Palm Trees of my current surrondings
with my love for the colors of
New England in the fall.

To date this is my one and only

"Jelly" that is 

Not 

painted in Yellows,

As well as,

the only one that has company 

on the canvas.  

It also has a couple of other

Differences 

that all the other "JellyFish" don't have.  

Can you see any of the other differences?

I consider this "entity" to be of the JellyFish realm

however, 

I am see it both

floating in Outer Space 

as well as

floating in the Deep Sea. 

I also see the JellyFish 

as both

Embracing itself 

and 

Unraveling it's tendrils

in search of it's next
