Art to Bring Serenity Instead
I was originally planning on uploading a treat for you all, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow. A friend of mine and I are starting a new project I hope you will find informative and exciting. It just didn’t work out today, so we’re hoping for tomorrow. Stay tuned! In the meantime…
I paint every day. This is a hand-painted woodcut I did not long ago. It’s available in my etsy and eBay stores (click above!). I like the mood this piece captured for me. I often get that my paintings are “lonely” and “serene”. For me, those two terms are not mutually exclusive. Even though I come across in my blog as a tormented type of person, I take some comfort in the fact that the effect I might have on my environment is at times serene. I hope I upset, disturb, annoy and offend that which needs to be upset, disturbed, annoyed and offended. And I hope I bring a sense of serenity into places that need it, including the many, many lonely people out there who are friendless, community-less, or church-less.
Dave,
If you’re tormented we’re all tormented.
We’re also touched by joy.
Cheers

When i started reading your blog, i am in too much pain, yet i found serenity.
Reading your posts and others’ comments give me a sense of belonging.
Thanks for your and others’ honesty.
northern lights? and what’s that in the background… a BARN?
I’m shocked, I tell you! Upset, annoyed, disturbed, offended and SHOCKED!! How dare you post such subject matter on the internet??
I recognize that fence…
Your art has driven my wife to theft. It’s THAT good.
(or at least to selfishness…)
I don’t find your work lonely, but serene is a good description of it. I find it very peaceful. This one is beautiful.
im just relieved you’ve all stopped talking about james blunt!
