I feel helpless when I think about what's happening in governments around the world and right here in the US. But whenever those feelings hit, I remember this quote from Mahatma Gandhi.

“Dancing On a Moonbow” was inspired by learning there are twelve types of rainbows and reflecting on Jacqueline Utley’s captivating use of color and composition. This new painting is oil on board, 11 x 14 inches, 2025. I highly recommend exploring Utley’s artworks.

This week’s coffee break sketch.
I recommend adding a touch of creativity to your day—even a stick figure sketch. These small acts matter. A quick drawing keeps your imagination active; you don’t need fancy supplies, just a moment and something to draw on. How do you stay creative?

I’ve had a few paintings that are just not working for me. Marcel Duchamp would say “they are just retinal paintings” or essentially just “eye candy.” And of course I want more. The problem at hand is how to take these compositions and push through to the other side. The work part of artwork.

Friday Fundamentals
There’s something special about the start of a new semester. I always emphasize two things: positive and negative space, and how high-contrast (value) can instantly elevate any drawing, painting, or design. Master these, and even a rough sketch can become something remarkable.
