Sketch of BLAST 6" x 6" pastel A new year and analyzing a new direction . . .    For so long I've been creating my little skies, but now  am attempting to push it along after reflecting on my  body of art. As one can tell, I love color!  And who doesn't if one plays with pastels?  But I notice I have a constant palette of bold and contrasting  colors, that typically are blue in hue with an occasional  red as above. So now it's time to take a step in an opposite direction.  So bear with me please, and let's see where this all goes.

FIRE + PASSION 6" x 6" pastel 12" square glass + gold frame Sold - Private Collector I have a story to tell . . .  As I was walking Friday I encountered a blind man.  Determinedly he was tapping away with a cane,   yet was turned around at a street crossing.   The gentleman missed the corner and butting  heads with a street lamp. I asked him if he needed assistance and at first declined. Then he inquired if he passed the deli. It took a minute  for me to get my bearing as well, and realized he passed  the cross street by a block.  I explained that he had to go back one block, turn right,  go another block and the deli would be on his left. Inquired  if he needed additional assistance, he smiled and said no. While walking away, decided I should look back  and . . .  saw the gentleman had crossed the street successfully, but was turned around once again! ...
