Burrow in Pennsylvania Countryside
I painted this watercolor while sitting in my studio one day, “back in the day” living in Philadelphia, Pa. I loved the bike rides I would take out into the countryside and surrounding burbs of Philly, the lush green landscape provided a cocoon-like escape out of my busy city existence during this time in my life.
This painting is now available on canvas, as a print in my Artshop .

Legs
Photo by Aleksejs Bergmanis from Pexels Legs
Legs burn muscle
over hills and byways
highways stretching on the horizon
teeming with cars
hell-bent on winning the race
the race of human want
want that crashes without brakes
still, I beat the road
pounding legs on shoe rubber lanes
racing the clock
to stay in the game
gridlock metal that knows
no shame
refusing to budge, I remain
leg-muscled-highway
drive through wind and rain
all steel and rubber
screeching in pain
the race of human want
futile gain.

Icons
Icons
Our stretching souls
and empty spirits
wake as sunrise smiles.
TV’s click on
our children chortle
as icons play.

Witches Water
Witches water
I will walk this dry land
and bathe in the witches water
to quench my thirst
with God’s cup.

Tears Gather for a Drink
Tears gather for a drink
It’s time to say goodbye
Our long journey has ended
We must release our friends to
Join all the fun outside
Have another round
Of life-
Goodbye!

The Task
The Task
Pieces scatter
the earth
leaving the task
at hand –
With hand and heart
I shall sew a story
a tale to mend
your life.

Ravaged
That greedy glint
in the eye of the fooled
the eye of the lost
my heart left in the home of the tricked
What does it take for them to wake up?
To stop selling their fortunes
for the land of milk and honey
the land where the streets are paved in gold
the lies told to lure them
What will it take before the tales of fools
are replaced with the folklore of the ancient?
The contentment of the indigenous?
What will it take for the
Mad Hatter to end his greedy voyages
into the hearts of the innocent?
I am ravaged like the forests of the Amazon!
Ravaged like the tombs of Egypt!
And where do the tombs rest now?
In the land of the greedy, the violent
in the land of the weeping
I am the ravaged exile!
The ravaged land of the tricked
and the ravaged heart
of the fool.

“Being Slow means that you control the rhythms of your own life… You decide…”
I live by this, great quote! I am also a big fan of the Slow Food Movement.
“Being Slow means that you control the rhythms of your own life.
You decide how fast you have to go in any context. If today I want to go fast, I go fast. If tomorrow I want to go slow, I go slow.
What we are fighting for is the right to determine our own tempos.”

SHAKESPEARE WAS AN INSOMNIAC #poetry by jay
Shakespeare was an insomniac
A maniac, word-slinging poet
who ate his delights, masticating
his sorrows, while feeding our
wide awake hearts
with his poetic desires.
Shall we in return dance tarantellas
to celebrate you and I here
now manic- and sleepless
in this shared space?
Similar fate, to the master
of the sorrowful sonnet
in constant debate!

Rite of Passage
This watercolor represents the entryway into my sub-conscious mind, as I begin to create my artwork.
I was once told by a very wise older artist, that every painting you create is a self-portrait. That moment struck a profound feeling in my young mind at the time and has stuck with me ever since. I discovered the connection to my soul as a painter in those early days and have never looked back.
Available in my Art Shop in your choice of frame.
