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.

Hip, hip, and hoorah, Ada is coming back to the Land of Less Coughing!! I can just see her rocking out in her bouncy seat. My youngest grandson is turning 1 this weekend. He has just began to walk and we are overjoyed with the prospect that he and his 2.2 year old older brother will be able to run as a pair now. Wonderful and challenging painting too, sir. Although you did announce it as an image prompt, I do not recognize it from carefully combing your archives. So if time permits, I will put pen to paper and hope something artful emerges to match your images.

Glad your kids are feeling better! These new paintings are …well, to use a much overused word, awesome indeed….
Sounds as if you are busy, as usual. I am glad you are still not too busy to post once in a while.
Hurray and hurrah, I did find some time to compose a bit of whimsey in response to this image. I call it:
Kid’s Kingsdom

That looks to me like an illo for Cordwainer Smith’s story “The Crime and Glory of Commander Suzdal”. Glad to hear Ada’s feeling better.
…so that gave me an idea. The Crime and the Glory of Commander Suzdal
Glad to hear that Ada is back to her bouncy, cheerful self.
