Damn the thieves
You know I don’t like dwelling on the negative but every once in a while ya just gotta vent and either take a stand or move on.

I’m still squeezing inContinue reading “Mundane life calls me”

Art Quotes

My first waterfalls were somewhat accurate depictions of Ash Cave and the upper falls at Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills, Ohio, with one abstract exception, which was my favorite (and the one for whichContinue reading “Chasing waterfalls”
