Thanks for visiting!

Thanks to all who visited. Just thinking about creativity, and how it is, for me, an answer to the absurdity the world presents.  Though we can't always change things, i.e. making warring people "turn their swords into plowshares," we can add weight to the positive side of the scale through creative acts. This is a major reason for doing things like good deeds, prayer, creative work, teaching and healing.  When others search through the rubble of the ruins of our society on some far distant date, they may find, besides the remains of instruments of war, and hopefully outnumbering them, glorious works of art and other signs that there were always those who had hope and a dream---builders and creators far outnumbering those who took delight in destruction.  This is my hope anyway.  One day, I created a painting called "They Honor the God of War."  It was one of two of my paintings that appeared in our museum's regional show.  Many were moved by it, finding it spoke to them powerfully.  Many times, we can't say all we wish we could in words.  Color, line and form may speak more powerfully when words fail.  Be well, do good work.  Please visit again.
