The posting from Will Edwards certainly struck a chord. I think of my
father, who was a painter all of his life. He lived in a family that
did not appreciate his efforts as much as they should have. I remember
many times, in our little home with the kitchen taken up by paints,
unfinished paintings and the smell of linseed oil, thinking, "He's doing
it again." And there were those times, sitting in a hot Nevada sun,
watching my Dad by the side of the road sketching, thinking, "I wish my
Dad was a gambler...at least we would go to Las Vegas!" After suffering
a devastating stroke, my father continued to paint...to make art. It
was his true self coming at us across the canvas, and I have come to
appreciate the great passion that drove him through his life and held
him until the very end.
Make art with everything you have always.

Daer Will...
I like this very much.
...maybe...what one 'have left' sometimes is more than what one
'started-with'...

Jim and I spent the weekend making art - fiber and wood. I've been
working with pineapple fiber fabric. Our latest work is on the blog.
Thanks for looking.
