Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
I really liked this book and have gotten good ideas from it. I give it five stars as it is more helpful than a lot of similar books. Mostly it outlines the twelve classic design motifs which I’d like to discuss soon on a separate post. (You may have already seen the beginning of my … Read more
My dear friend Jill unexpectedly passed on last night. She will be heartily missed. We knew each other primarily at church, both taking leadership roles…
This page represents December 29, 2009 to January 9, 2010 See a close-up below and the whole page spread. (The black and whites are part of a design series I’ve been working on and these close-ups will be posted and discussed together soon.) Enjoy!

I am a regular writer for the Danbury News Times Forum on Faith Series. Here is today’s column:
A new decade seems like practically a whole new epoch. This is all symbolized for me right now by cars. For those of you that read of my harrowing experience a few weeks ago on a hill of black ice (click here to read it if you did not) this blog post is the other … Read more
