I paint mostly about what gives me the feeling of joy. I hope that the viewer feels that at least fleetingly while they look at my paintings. Lately flowers,usually beautiful female figures in nature. Waterecolor has greatly influenced the way I paint in oil and vise verse. Since peace and happiness seems to be sorely needed here on earth, 10 % of my earnings go to the heartnet, a non-profit organization helping children in great need around the globe receive the basics like enough to eat, clean water for drinking, a roof over their heads, and love in their hearts.

I play the piano daily, classical and improvisational. I also play the harmonium and sing kirtan, a kind of chant music from the bakti yoga tradition.

Hi Shawn, I am going to Rome for fun, bringing my daughters and meeting my son who has been in Sicily for a semester abroad. My kids are so excited although I think I am a little insane to do a trip like this for their spring break but we are going end of April.


I dont plan on going to Jeanne's anytime soon although I totally enjoy the workshops but I really should find another teacher, she has inspired me tremendously.. I understand her methods and philosophy. I may go to Chester in the summer but if I do it would be to paint on my own.


As far as the stars are concerned, they are actually meaningless! If you are active on this website, upload lots of paintings in the gallery, make contacts with other artists, and participate in blogs, and participate in all the nooks and crannies on this site, you get more stars next to your name. It doesnt mean anything other than if you are like me, you spend way too much time online!


Take care, Robin

Hi!  Thanks for your note!  I am so glad you got a lot out of Jack's book.  I will post a blog about my experience in NYC last weekend soon.  I am very busy following up with contacts I made, and must stay focused on the task at hand!  Congrats on all the "MAGIC" that is arriving around you!

Beautiful artwork!  I love that you give to charity too.  That's cool.  It's also neat that you sing kirtan. 

 

Create a good day,
