Once upon a time I kept a blog. For ten years.

I've decided to dive in once again. 

Recently I moved full time to Portland, Oregon. Often I can be found in my studio at Northwest Marine Art Works willing myself to become a painter.

In this blog I'll share my thoughts about the process, the frustrations, the challenges, and the joys that come with trying to become a painter after spending 60 years as a photographer. Speaking of the latter, I continue to make photographs, and I'll share those on this blog, as well. In my new life in Portland, I've also taken up the ukulele. It might be a while before I share a song or two.

I'm pleased with a painting I recently finished, one with which I've wrestled for many, many days (hence the courage to start this blog?). This 16" x 16" painting is about, well, diving in. 

I'm happy to have your company as I navigate this new endeavor. Thanks for being here.
