A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

Mechanical – Pen and Ink
Continuing to work… Sol LeWitt, the conceptual artist, seems to consider that planning is an essential part of a work of art. Producing it appears to be the only element to transfer the ideas encapsulated in the work.
For me, at this stage, planning is becoming essential. But not quite sure where this work is leading me or why. I have a hunch, but it is not clear to me now.
The color pencils are presenting a challenge and using other software as opposed to Adobe’s offerings. It does feel good supporting those that are daring enough to take on the Goliath of software. For those interested Affinity Photo, Affinity Design and Blender are the software I am using.

I’m a Minneapolis-based artist working in watercolor, gouache, oil, drawing, and mixed media.
After teaching art and design for many years, I returned to making art fully. These days, I spend my time drawing, painting, experimenting, and paying attention to what shows up.
I often work small. My work moves between observation, memory, and imagination. Some pieces lean surreal. Some stay close to what is seen. What interests me is what begins to emerge when I stay with the work long enough.
On my blog, you’ll find both my artwork and my reflections. I’ve come to see they are connected. What I learn in the studio often changes how I see my life, my relationships, and my community. In that way, art has become more than making objects — it has become a way of understanding and being in the world.
