Prairie

I used to ride through the Kansas prairie often....loved the simplicity and connect between land and sky. George Winston has some cool music to accompany the landscape out in the prairie.

First Graphic

A number of years ago I began an interest in creating geometric graphics that visualize a life event, a musical love or current mind "stories". It began with this visual of Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto, 2nd movement. I drew it in 1976 actually. At times we must close our eyes to "see"....funny thing to say about a visual work !

Poem #1

The wind goes
This way and there
A high flowing river
Thoughts in harmony.

That space between
The essence
A jelly of change
Hidden from the eye.

One cannot touch
We can ask
Become a knowing
Oh...sigh...tears....surrender.
