"The road goes ever on and on,
down from the door were it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
and I must follow if I can.
Persueing it with eager feet,
until it joins some larger way.
Where many paths and errands meet,
and  wither then I cannot say."
                                 J. R. R. Tolkien 


This is is one of my favorite quotes and it's been running through my mind a lot lately.  Must be the advent of warmer weather giving me wanderlust.

It seems like forever since I've posted anything new, and mostly its due to some health problems I've been working through.  I've been reluctant to mention or talk about these issues thinking that people wouldn't really care.  I realized how wrong I was, when a person who I admire, opened up to the whole community about her daily struggle with serious illness.  It only made me respect and admire that person more, for her simple everyday courage. 
I haven't been posting lately simply because I am having trouble walking further than two city blocks without severe leg pain.  Needless to say this has restricted my ability to go out and take pictures.  So far the doctors haven't been able to pin down the cause, but I'm still undergoing tests. 

In any event I've posted three new photos which I took last fall.  Enjoy them and I hope to post more soon.

Life Happens

1 min read
As happens to us all, (at various times), we get so busy that we don't get the chance to work on the things we would like to do.  Instead; we must concentrate on what we need to do.  The bottom line is that I havn't posted anything new for quite some time.  For this, I am truly sorry!
However; part of this busy period has been really good, as over the holiday period I've sold quite a number of photographs.  Four of which are now hanging in a bank, and one is hanging in a village hall.  About 10 others are now in private homes, and one is in the offices of a large company in Indiana.
Yes; it's been a busy time, and I must admit to having a lot of fun.
I will be posting some new photos in the near future, and thank you for your patience.

If I were to have one complaint about DA, it's that so fiew people take the time to give meaningful coments that help the artist improve his or her work.  Some of us really want to hear what you like or don't like about a piece of work.  It helps us grow and improve!

Yes; I know all the reasons, and how fragile some of the artistic egos are.  Some don't want to hear anything except how great they are, and some feel that they are so expert in their field that anyone who has the gall to point out a flaw or suggest an improvement really doesn't know what they are talking about.  

The simple fact is there is always someone who knows something you don't, or has tried something you havn't.  There are so many great artists on DA, that I am frequently humbled by their skill and creativity, and yes; I have learned just by seeing their beautiful work.

So please let me know what you think!  I may not always agree, but then again I may just learn something new.  And I want to learn!
