Woman #5 Musings of the Artists Mind Deep into my explorations of these materials, I wanted to try and build a big piece out of Red Earthenware clay. I hadn’t played much with the medium and was more uncertain of how to finish it, than anything else. I dove into it, like I would with … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #421 – Woman #5
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #420 – Blue Man – I Give Up
Blue Man - I Give Up Musings of the Artists Mind This Blue Man must have been having a very bad day, at least musically. I hear no music in this one, as the expression is all of frustration. This form allowed me to experiment with the happenstance of gravity that occurs in the kiln … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #420 – Blue Man – I Give Up

Blue Man Thinking Musings of the Artists Mind The Blue Man series was an extension of my Blues paintings, full of music, movement and joy. I believe this one is living in Scottsdale, AZ.

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity – Part 18 – Sculpture Gods & Goddesses
Part 18 - Sculpture Gods & Goddesses As a child, I watched my father spend hours meticulously carving into a long of clay. Carefully misting it with water and daily smoothing & re-smoothing cracks and faults he found in the nearly perfect surfaces, or so I saw them. I never wanted to put that much … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity – Part 18 – Sculpture Gods & Goddesses

Landscape 14-006 Musings of the Artists Mind I’ve written & re-written several descriptions of this one and somehow it all comes back to the feeling that these two trees are passing time by telling each other bad jokes.

Landscape 14-005 Musings of the Artists Mind Sometimes there are scenes in movies that stick in my imagination. Several films have used a time-lapse or speeded-up film to show the passage of time.

I also hear … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #415 – Landscape 14-005

Landscape 14-004 Musings of the Artists Mind Things are always staring up in the background of solitude. This one looks like a drive by photo I toon on the highway between Abu Dhabi & Dubai.

Landscape 14-003 Musings of the Artists Mind Imagine the hazy heat rising from the ground to blur everything; even the shadows cast from the trees seam lost in the excessive humidity of the day. The trees remind me of the mushrooms in Fantasia. Getting ready to dance apart in a whimsical circle of life and … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #413 – Landscape 14-003
