I’ve always been a dancer, but mostly behind closed doors.  When I was young I learned how to square dance in school.  But that kind of movement never moved me.  I also taught aerobic classes for quite a few years and while it did involve some rhythmic body steps, it was not quite tripping the light fantastic.  When I paint, I always start out with some simple jumps and steps to music to loosen me up.  I listen while I work and take breaks now and again to get my body in sync with the melody that is currently playing.  And I finish with my own type of dancing.  To me art has always been a type of dance…..  

Chakra Colors and Patterns

The soft tones in this digital artwork reminded me of the Chakra energies. I see the range of colors and zones of existence portrayed in a vivid splash of light. Wander with me through the colorful landscape of pure love and virtual peace on earth.

People often ask me what my favorite color might be.  I’ve always found that question extremely difficult to answer because I love ALL colors so much.  When I was a kid, I favored green.  It made me feel happy and alive.  But as I’ve matured, I have found that a lot of my work has shades of blue and aqua mixed together.  Blue and aqua would be two colors, but it is in fact my favorite. 🙂

Blue is the color of the clear sky and the deep sea. On the optical spectrum, blue is located between violet and green. Surveys in the U.S. and Europe show that blue is the color most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, and confidence.

Not sure why depression is linked to blue because this hue makes me feel really good inside.  So most days I am definitely feeling blue and love it!

I have always loved the Godzilla movies when I was a kid and I had to paint my interpretation of this really cool Japanese Monster. This artwork was created with acrylics and plaster. This Painting is already SOLD! Prints are Available at Imagekind, Red Bubble, Fine Art America, Artist Rising, Society 6 and DeviantART.

A view from 75th Street and Woodland in north Boulder County Colorado looking west toward the Rocky Mountain foothills with car light trails from Woodland Rd as a lightning thunderstorm does it’s magic in the air.  A very active night of lightning. Started shooting to the east across the street with strikes hitting over Terry Lake while watching it hit like crazy along the foothills moving south.  This is after getting chased back to the home studio for car cover from some very BIG painful hail!  These are nights storm chasers live for.  HDR Processing. ISO 320  f7.1  30 sec 10mm. Buy Prints On-Line –  75th and Woodland Lightning Thunderstorm View HDR

One of the things I am learning as a photographer is that there are no “ugly” things.  Through the lens of my camera the entire world is becoming one beautiful thing after another.  Even dirt has shape, shadow and form that create interesting imagery.  The above piece is just the front end of a bulldozer but upon closer inspection it has a wonderfully curved shape and interestingly detailed teeth. The light and soil create contrast and shadow forming an abstract image that is very pleasing to the eye.

Two massive hooks used on a crane create a dance of beauty in a spectacular blue sky.  They seem to hang there weightlessly.  Just waiting for their work to begin….

Here in Florida we pass by huge cranes doing their work almost daily. Construction is an ever present condition of our roads and buildings.  Usually these…

Yesterday while out driving around with my Hubby looking for places to take some pictures, we stumbled across a parking lot filled with vintage Porsche’s.  What a sight to see!  And best of all, the show was over and there were hardly any people about.  We had free reign to take as many shots as we pleased without any pesky humans in the way. 🙂  

Whenever I see one of these old classics, I think of my crazy uncle.  Doesn’t everyone have a “crazy uncle”?  Well I do.  And if you are reading this, you are mine Uncle Rick. 😉  

When I was around 13 years old and staying with my cousin for a week up in the hills of Georgia, my Uncle Rick thought it would be great fun to teach me how to drive.  Now that sounds like a pretty normal thing to do…
