Laura Mercurio Ebohon
Not long ago I received an email from Italian poet and writer Laura Mercurio Ebohon. It was gracious in every sense relating to her thoughts on my art. To my surprise yesterday I received an email that she had written a poem to one of my abstract paintings from July, Just Before Dawn. I am deeply touched and sharing it here. Laura has collaborated with Italian publisher Gruppo Albatros Il filo and has a new book of poems this month, If I Look Inside. Thank you Laura for your kindnesses, and for taking time out of your wonderful life in such a way, I am honored.

These hours
are constant needles
are constant needles
piercing through
thin paper walls.
Just before dawn
Standing still
waiting
for the sunshine
to come through
fighting
thick clouds
smoky words
heavy moods
wrapped up
in this warm mantle
of light rays
closed eyes to push back tears
and visions
seeing even deeper
closer...
details and shadings
screaming truth
tracing time
loosing space
taking lifeto a new dimension
of shining ideas
like falling stars
in this tender blue sky
no borders no limits
only shadows
in slow motion
pouring glitters of joy ~

Hope Eternal


One painting, several ways to hang / view. Since seeing the different views here I am encouraged to perhaps at some point do several versions of this painting. Have a lot going on right now, to be frank. That reminds me of my late maternal grandfather's favorite little saying, "I'll be Frank, you be Ernest." Hope Floats soundtrack was playing while working on this piece. Good movie. 30x24

The Antiques Diva - Thank You
A very special thanks to Toma (Toma Clark Haines) who from her wonderful world in Berlin posted on her blog The Antiques Diva about my sketches for charity. Toma is a gifted and gracious individual with a delightful story of how the dreams and desires of a little girl in Oklahoma took her to Europe to live years in Paris and Amsterdam and now beautiful Berlin with her husband (also from the States.) Toma's blog on lifestyle, decorating and entertaining is a favorite of mine, and will be to you, too! Simply click the title to this post!Toma, thank you!

Sketch for Charity
On occasion I will be offering small original sketches with proceeds going to one of these good organizations: Doctors Without Borders, CARE, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. I know this is a tough economic climate, so all I ask is a minimum of $50.00, you are certainly welcome to donate more if you like, it's your choice either way. Your donation will go to a very worthy cause. The individual who notifies me first via EMAIL will be the recipient of the sketch. Should payment not be received I will proceed to the next person who contacted me. If I can figure out an easier way I will certainly make that happen.
Wayfaring Stranger by Jack White was my accompaniment.
10/25/09 Thank you! This sketch has been purchased for a donation and is no longer available!

Frenchy
This French inspired painting was commissioned for a women's dressing room in Raleigh, NC. It was installed in a mauve painted room with cream upholstered furniture and dark mahogany tables. My inspiration was a combination of carved antique French beds I slept in when growing up AND how a love note left in a pocket appears after having been washed along with the clothing. SOLD 3ftX5ft

Whimsical Study
Hemingway Study
A loose charcoal study after a wonderful famous Hemingway photo. If anyone knows who the photographer was, please let me know so I might give credit here; this study done only for practice.
Ernest Hemingway wrote All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. That is how I feel after I've painted or drawn. Once a piece is completed and set aside, next time I look at it it is as if I've seen it for the first time. This perplexes me. I have no answers. Anyone else experience this?

Two 8' X 4' and One 8' X 6' - Lofty and open spaces require their larges sizes, however simply viewing the paintings in the spaces in which they hang one would have difficulty discerning just how large they really are. ALL SOLD

2007 - ST. Simon's
Oil on Canvas 14 X 11
There is just something incredibly awesome about the ability to thrive under extreme conditions. Having grown up on the southern coasts of the US, I simply cannot fathom what it is like to live daily in a northern climate. The whole time I painted this scene I was reminded of why I love down comforters.
