One year after arriving at Catalina, I had to visit the health clinic, due to somethiing I had "caught"...found out I had walking pnemonia. While I was setting outside, waiting for the clinic to open, the fog was in, and this scene haunted me for two days, until I could return, with my paints, and attempt to capture it. I was blessed, because we had another foggy morning!
The thing I really liked about it, was the simplicity, of shapes, values and colors. And with just a touch of light breaking thru the morning fog.
I went back to this scene in the fall of 2002, thinking I would see the same thing...ha ha...the palms are almost out of sight, don't have the skirts any longer. In short, this scene is a part of history, now!
Keeping with the spirit of things
the following is also shared with you!

Also, I never list another artist's web site, but I am making an exception!

"TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE"...
should be the basis of painting from your soul
(which has always been my philosophy,
more important than any sales, or any approval!)
...and to understand this, a friend of mine, Tom Clements,
has shared a great deal from his "soul"...
if you care to read some of his thoughts on the soul of painting,
please visit his web site:
