Love to listen to native flute (or any flute) and piano instrumentals

I am a book freak. Art books of course, but long novels with sequels and books by spiritual leaders.

Almost any good movie.


There are no blogs submitted!





I have been making art for forty years. I finally received my Bachelor's degree in Painting and Printmaking at SDSU, after 30 years raising a family. I taught commercial and fine art for a few years in a High School in the Eastern Sierras and I am now very involved with a wonderful cooperative gallery in my new home town in Oregon. I have been giving workshops in drawing and creativity here in my studio for the last four years. My work is going in a new direction and I'm looking forward to sharing it.

I love the beach, walking my dogs and my co-op gallery group. I also love Qigong and yoga and spending as much time painting and nurturing the creative spirit as possible in my new Oregon Studio. I can't help but love the smell of oil paint and printmaking studios.

Politics, telemarketing, and mundane duties, too much wind.

digital art, making slide shows and movies, making books, altered art, working in my art journal

Yes Pattie,  Nature is my greatest source of inspiration... I am looking at 2 of your paintings  as I write this and I just love your colors, the purples with green and yellow and orange.... I love the trees...When you say spiritual leaders  (books you like) do mean like Deepak chopra, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle?  just curoius.  reading the work of both Deepak and Eckhart Tolle has really helped me to get into the FLOW with my work....

Hi Pattie,  Thank you for your comments.  Yes the sheep are New Zealand sheep.  Suffolk Sheep. That painting is in a private collection in Cambridge New Zealand. I only work in Oil, although I would like to work in Water Color some day when I am set up properly for it.  

You know who your work reminds me of.  Kahlll Gibran.  Your landscapes and trees especially.  Take care...

I don't know if I'm responding on the right vein, or whatever you call it, but in answer to your question the painting is oil and was done on location over a period of about 5 sessions.  Being there is as important to me as the finished product and many times the finished product is not worth presenting, so it gets painted over.  10% inpiration, 90% perspiration.  Thanks for looking at my work.  Jack

Thanks for visiting my site and for the comment regarding the light in my Northern Utah Barn painting.  I also belong to a coop gallery and enjoy it very much.  I look forward to reviewing your work.

Thanks for visiting my site. Sorta new to all of this, but i appreciate the feedback. I have taught at this school for the last 17 years. Its a boarding school in the middle of nowhere PA.I would imagine Oregon would even make a landscape painter out of anyone! My father is a landscape painter and the sense of horizontal has always been in my work. For more examples, you can see more at www.mountainteastudios.com. Take Care-Mark
