My Fiftieth Year ramblings and paintings


I was standing in the shower, and thoughts came flowing in as the water poured over the back of my head. You know how it is, stuff always pops into your head when you have no pen or paper to write it down, no keyboard to hammer.

It is my fiftieth year, I turned fortynine in late fall and I realized in the shower that this is my fiftieth year. I have things I want to share. I should also warn you that I have an odd sense of hilarity. A sometimes, tilted way of seeing things. Tilted because I am falling down at the time and think "this must look absolutely hilarious" and actually crack up as I am falling because I am picturing in my head how it must look. Picturing things in my head is actually a good thing because I am an artist. Being able to laugh at ones self is important in the creative process.

Okay getting off track. I started this blog to share some of my stories, thoughts, and paintings.
So for now, this is a beginning of sorts. Today I set up the blog and added my painting "Coastal Walk".
