Life in VIRGINIA...

Life in VA is pretty slow and laid-back. The views are wonderful and life seems to mosey on by. Working across the street is convenient and in a way quaint. The small town attitude is quite evident here....everyone knows everybody...and about everybody...that kind of thing. I have been working occasionally on my woodcut...hoping to get it finished. It is about time....right?! I am also still looking for work in Philadelphia, PA....which has its ups and downs. I am sad to say that it has been more downs then ups....lately....that is on the job search front. Although seeing Norman every other weekend has been a very pleasant and long waited for opportunity. I have also been to some Ben's soccer matches, that has been great fun. U.David is the XCountry coach and hope to catch a couple meets soon. I just came home from Ben's match and his team won 6 - 1.....now we are going out for a victory meal!! They are waiting on me so I will sign off for now.

First Painting....(in long long long while)

This painting is interesting.....it is a self portrait of me. It is interesting in the sense that it was unexpected in its end result. First of all I have not painted anything since college so I went into it with no great expectations. It is flawed in so many ways...but I think it works the way it is. What do you think?

One of many.....(hopefully) ;o)

Well this is the first posting and it has been too long that I have waited to do this.....partly because I don't really know what to write....but here it goes............ ... ...... ..... . . . ..... . . ...it is late at night and and and and maybe I should be in bed but then again maybe not. There are things that should be done but there is always tomorrow. You can't say that too much because then all you have in the end is a bunch of yesterdays. There is something so refreshing about getting you thought down on paper or screen as is this particular case. Something about allowing thoughts to leave your mind...allowing new thoughts to enter....freeing up space. So I hope with this new found freedom that I can empty my thoughts to free up space in my very active mind for new thoughts and ideas.
