The waterfall symbolizes effortlessness. Powerful, graceful flow. Skillfully moving around that which is often seen as an obstacle. The water finds its way around, creating art out of the rock standing before its path. Cascading beauty, into a pool of calm. I have been experiencing a theme of letting go, patience, trust, graceful powerful flow, …
This piece came together rather quickly. I was in the middle of painting the latest giant spirit tree, and was feeling stuck. Was craving a different painting, so I put aside the big canvas and pulled out a 24″x30″ frame and began painting. I knew I wanted to do a wave, and the latte stones …

Written in my journal from the weekend: Today is a beautiful day. A “lazy” day of sorts. It is after all, a Sunday here on Guam, and what a great day to be lazy indeed. While it’s such a quiet-feeling day, it’s also filled with so many magical sounds! I made a video (my first …
