Scenes from a regular Friday:

My home office project is inching towards the finish line. I’m spending a lot of time thinking about color these days, and why it affects me the way it does and why that matters.

Yesterday I was collecting some fragments of my art and noticed

Meanwhile feels like another way of saying, “have hope, there’s more than what you see here.”

As we walk barefoot in the cool grass of spring watching the world re-awaken to life, meanwhile feels like the reminder we’ve need

Instructions for the weekend: find a spot of light and go sit in it.

May rest and delight find you this weekend, friends. May you have the will to look for it,and the eyes to see it, and the surrender to receive it (even if it’s stormy where

I’m back at my art table, playing with color, remembering what brings me life, and reflecting on what it means to live with a maker spirit in a manager world. I’ve always marched to the beat of a different drum (a la Henry David Thoreau
