Calling all artist-pantheists, poets, dreamers, mothers, climbers of mountains

I know I'm not alone, though my favourite pastimes ( except when my sweet daughter  Ruby is with me, or I'm with the ones I love, thank God for them ) are solitary in nature, as well as in Nature.  I yearn for conversation about art, Nature, love, the nature of love, the love of Nature, the nature of Art, the art of Nature...

upcoming show

I have a show of new paintings at the Old Fire Hall in Rossland, B.C. during February. Th e space is cosy and elegant, the food and drink is wonderful, the company is stimulating, and you can feast your eyes on some vivid Kootenay high-realism.
