Georgia O’Keeffe once (or more times) said if she painted enough, God said He would give it to her… here are my thoughts: Georgia’s Gift Was Georgia O’Keeffe given Perdernal Cerro by God because She painted it enough times? No. God gave her a greater gift, Sharing her Majesty, Mystery and Beauty. Beauty is a truth That belongs to no one, But also, to everyone.

I passed by this site on my way to the Pecos river and stopped both going up and coming back in the evening…. I had to paint it and write a poem! The Rock Serpent A rock serpent emerges from Rugged hills South of Galisteo Silently moving West to East, Returning to its’ molten home. I also climb the hilltops, Feel the Sun above and The golden grass beneath my feet. Grateful on each step On this journey home.

Dancing Spires is an original digital composition based on two of my previous acrylic paintings… combining them tells more of story as captured in this poem: Dancing Spires (Sedona) Dancing in the moonlight, Sedona spires come alive. Birthed by wind and rain, Over millions of years. Their spirit is now revealed, For thousands of years To those who also Dance with the Moonlight.
