crumbling

collage on linen

I awake each morning torn between a desire to save the world and adesire to savour the world. This makes it hard to plan my day.

E.B. White

liturgy

For i have known them all already, known them all--

have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons

i have measured out my life with coffee spoons,

i know the voices dying with a dying fall

beneath the music from a farther room

so how should i presume?

and i have known the eyes already, known them all--

the eyes that fix you in formulated, sprawling on a pin

when i am pinned and wriggling on the wall,

then how should i begin

to spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?

and how should i presume

--T.S Eliot, From The Love Song of J. Alfred Pufrock

summer haze

this is the view of my farm from our backyard. i painted this over a series of sunsets, when the sheep would come out, the sun would slant it's way through the trees (that are not shown in this painting), and my mom would pick what she needed for supper

august's garden

oil on canvas

3.5x5ft

this was painted on my family's farm in august 2006. it was a challenge to stand outside in the shifting sun watching the mess of flowers wave in the wind. i love this painting and will be sad to see it go.
