would You...know it was me?

If I were a single tear that fell from the skies into the oceans deep, 

would You...know it was me?

If I were a single grain of sand laying upon an endless beach, 

would You...know it was me?

If I were a single shining star amidst the vastness of the milky way,

would You...know it was me?

If I were a single word unspoken within the minds of humankind, 

would You...know it was me?

Within the Undiscovered

 "Within the Undiscovered" 

        

Watercolor 13x18 on white paper, border added using Paint Shop

This is another design idea based on the Shadow Series, in which I tired to show the horse

form as it emerges from out of the colors (The Undiscovered) as a spirit or shadow of the reality.

These are the third and fourth designs in a new series I am working on called 'Seeing Shadows'.

At this point it is only horses but other ideas are swirling in my head and may yet come.

These two designs were done using an ink wash technique and crayons or pastels.

Over the Edge of the World

  It seemed a day like any other day,    

Where adults worked and children played

The sun shone brightly somewhere in the sky,

I stand silently motionless as the moments slip by

A portrayal of stillness, masks the depths of fear,

The slowing heart beats faintly of all I hold dear

The seconds tick by each quicker than the last,

No future secure, just trying to hold onto the past

A moment approaches so gentle in all of its grace,

Heavens curtains opened to reveal God's face

Then the curtains close that once were unfurled,

Realizing I've been over the edge of the world.

Life & Art; A Statement of Vision

I am an artist attempting to capture a moment that may offer a fleeting glimpse of transcendence.  Seeking to pull back the curtain that often hides the beauty, the mystery, the peace, the mercy and love that we all crave. 

 Offering subtle glimpses of grace in which we are spoken to in that still small voice through the images, objects and scenes in our life that we so regularly overlook.  I endeavor through my art to use pictures and words to encourage and shine a light into dark places, allowing grace to be unveiled, to help others bear the pain in this life.  

 

To share the journey, however brief is often a wonderful gift. If I can reveal a moment that reaches your eyes, moves your heart and touches your soul then I have succeeded.  But only if you take that spark and use to ignite the ember that burns in others into a blazing fire!  I believe in the ‘ripple effect’, touch one life and you just may touch the whole world.
