The Large and Small Things in Life

This piece is about both the large and the small things that go into making a life. Most of the big things in life were once small, so it makes sense to pay attention to the details as you go about your day. You never know which ones will become important tomorrow. Both God and the devil can be found in the details.

Changing Directions

This painting is about the wind as it plays with the waves as they crash upon the shore. It's also about understanding that change is inevitable; and learning to welcome it, no matter how sudden or unexpected it might be. Change happens in many levels; sometimes it's subtle, sometimes quite blatant. Learning to go along with change, no matter its course, is learning to live life gracefully.

Life is a Tangle

Life is a Tangle

These particular leaves had been removed from the tree before they had time to turn colors. Bundled into a pile and left at the side of the road where they will be picked up, they still look beautiful. They remind me that Life is a Tangle of mystery, magic, and beauty.

Moving Through Life

Moving Through Life

Life is lived in stages and we pass through them quickly. Sometimes it is only upon reflection that we can see all we’ve lived and get a glimpse of what might still be to come.

Movement of Now

Now is all we ever have, and it is fleeting! Yesterday meets tomorrow all in the now of our lives.

Coconut Dawn

At one time coconut palms were to be banned from Waikiki; it was felt they posed too great a danger to unsuspecting guests. Their heavy coconuts, while lovely to see and delicious to eat, are deadly missiles if they fall on anyone’s head. Happily, one canny developer spent a fortune having several hundred coconut palms planted overnight right before the ban was to take effect. Today regular crews keep the trees trimmed, cutting off the coconuts while they’re still seeds and saving all of our “noggins”. I’ve seen the damage they can do to a car windshield, that’s close enough for me.
