A meandering account of my adventures in Art.
I recently did a test online @ http://www.psychtests.com Turns out I am 83% suffering from Imposter Syndrome. Here’s what the test results told me… “No matter what you manage to accomplish, you are unable to enjoy your success.

Read MoreToday I’m gonna paint but first I have to….. Walk the dog. Make Tea. Eat Breakfast. Do some laundry. Make my bed. Take a shower. Clean the bathrooms. Run to the store. Go for a swim.

Read MoreSeason is a most interesting word. When you break down the English language it can be fun to just say the word out loud and slow it right down. Sea-zon, Seize on, Seas-un….a silly game but a word full on meaning. For me it means the changing of the weather, the movement of a time […]

Read MoreI’m not the same person I was last night….or the day before… or the day before that. I won’t be the same person tomorrow. Things are moving quickly. I can see it every time I paint. I’ve completed two larger paintings since coming back to the Cayman Islands after a summer in Canada. A couple […]
Read MoreI finished a painting last week and I was tickled with how it made me smile. I did acknowledge within myself that the concept could have been pushed much further. I am headed home to the Cayman Islands in a week after what seems like and eternal summer and I am looking forward to having […]
