Burning Man Painting

As a writer and a painter, I realize that the rhythm and balance of a well-designed sentence is like the rhythm and balance of paint on canvas, and like a good story, a painting evokes a feeling and a new way of seeing. My style incorporates several layers of paint and sanding the canvas. Each painting is a mystery to me as I never know where it will go or how it will turn out. From this process, I’ve learned to trust a higher intelligence that understands beauty in ways that are beyond my imgination, and I’ve learned that expansion is inherent in beauty and feeling expansive, feels good. This is why I love to look at quality art. After twenty-five years in San Francisco, I recently moved to Asheville, North Carolina, where I live with my dog, and artistic mentor, Bosco, who is a bhakti yoga devotee. Through extensive hypnotic channeling, it was revealed that I'm the reincarnation of J.M.W. Turner and Bugs Bunny. What I've noticed in life is that people want something more out than the same old, same old. They want to expand, to be intrigued, to become intoxicated by new possibilities. This what I try to achieve with each painting.
