This past summer a friend of mine asked me to paint a rain barrel for her church auction. There were a number of them on display downtown.  Most of them were sweet, with flower themes or images of town scenes.  
I am not a realistic painter. I work in the abstract. But luckily a “vision” appeared in my head. A vessel. A Mexican water vessel. I have no idea where the Mexican theme came from. 
Oh yeah. Maybe I do. I was sitting outside of Cafe Amano drinking a margherita...

Bula!

I love to start something new. It makes some people feel uncomfortable, but I welcome the squirm of anticipation and I look forward to the endless possibilities it creates. One thing leads to another. So who knows what will happen because I started this blog today. 

Lately, I have been wanting to have a bigger life and so I am asking for it. These past few years have taught me one thing for sure. All you have to do is ask for "it". Now the funny part is, you have no idea in which form it will come to you. I know it sounds unrealistic and silly. But be aware, I am never afraid of being unrealistic or silly. It's my life story. I am an artist.

With this blog I wish to inspire and share. No political views or advice on how to have the perfect life. If anything, I will share my imperfect, haphazard, let's give it a try approach. So here goes.

FYI: Bula is a word of welcome on the islands of Fiji, a place my father loved very much.
