The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life...

"After the rain, after you call my name and AFTER".
If a single tear fell from your eyes into the ocean
And then washed up on some far and distant shore
I would still recognize that teardrop
For in the end that tear would still be yours.

One of my favorite things to do (when I have time) is to watch a great movie on the big screen, in my over sized leather chair with a drink that fits my mood...This is my quiet time, all to myself.
I do not watch television, I do not have the time...
I read books that expand my knowledge of subjects that are of interest to me. Art history and artist biographies are among my favorites, Health and nutrition, gardening and architecture.
I tend to read more magazines, they give me a lot of information in a short span of time...

Life beats down the soul and art reminds us that we have one.
