I'm an artist and writer of fiction and blogs, 72 years old, now living in Encinitas, CA. I picked up art again a few years after graduating from the fourth grade (about 60) and made my way from acrylic to oil and back, and through realism to abstract. There are examples of all within these pages. I'm, ultimately, a long-time day-dreamer, and believer in hope and wonder. Magic too.

The hows​ and whys of the way it is

Palette Knife Meanderings

Some of my favorite paintings of my own have been created using palette knives. Somewhere along the way, years back, I picked one of my wife's knives up and slathered paint on a canvas. That was pretty much the advancement of my technique until a year or so ago, when I began to pay more attention to what I could say with paint using the knives' edges: action, energy, intention, direction. It is a style of applying paint I bring a consciousness to now every time I run a knife through a glob of paint.  This painting - "Parrots, Palms, and Purples" - is the latest example of my intent to energize, in this case, the paper. I would love to hear your thoughts.

HI, just browsing nextdoor artists and found you. I too came upon the creative life in my later years, never having any formal training. (isn't it fun?). Something I wasn't encouraged to do as a child. Love your work. Mia
