Starting with a New Look

Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters.

– Ernest Hemingway, “The Complete Short Stories”

I read this quote a few months ago and it greatly affected me. It felt like my inner dialogue that’s been quietly polite up to this point, just got very loud and heated! ME was yelling at me!

The Battle

The Battle

And ME is right! It is time to go all the way with what matters, and pursue my creative work with all the energy and love I’ve got!

This visual change to ARTweWONDERFUL is the first of more to come, that I’m really excited about. So, stay tuned.

And all the credit doesn’t just go to Hemingway, I thank all of you who follow, do the Like thing, and share your comments (online or in person) – you’ve been a big blast to my heart!

I’ve painted olive trees a number of times, and each time, these paintings quickly find new homes. What makes olive trees so popular? Perhaps there are obvious answers having to […]

Italian Door Knockers
