Welcome
This site is a work in progress, a place to post my work and reflections and, on the Storybook Collaborative page, to post the work of others using the images collaboratively.
Although much of my painting could be called narrative, I don't always take the time to find the stories. So it is a pleasure to see them used as writing prompts, and to link to the stories, poetry and myths others find in the paintings.
The PAGES column below contains links to my writing, to the Collaborative Storybook and a sampling of Favorites, to my Artist Website, and to my New Mexico Storyboards blog.
I am not presently posting weekly image prompts. I am returning to this blog after a long hiatus and I am enjoying just watching it evolve.
As always, all are welcome here, and any who wish to do so may use the images in their own non-commercial work. Just please give credit and link back so others can visit and see what you do.
I'll be delighted if you leave a comment and come back for more. If you'd like to stay up to date, you can subscribe to my RSS feed by clicking on the orange icon below.

congrats on the baby ada–what a special time…
You’ll probably see this at readwritepoem, but I thought I;d leave the link here as well.

Your images are great fun. I am still scratching my head at the I and the J symbols. Perhaps “J” is for jackinthebox. The style is like Dr. Seuss, but the spirit is pure Mobbs. I guess the fact that the “jack” got out of his box on several places is indicative of something, enit? Perhaps birth, escape from lethargy or boredom, creativity in blossom? Have to stare a bit longer at the images, and just enjoy them.

Thank you, Rick, for sharing these paintings and your poems with us. I’ve learned a great lesson from you and this project, about how hoarding serves no purpose, and generosity reaps its own rewards! I’ll be back later with a link to Portrait of Nanda.
