Birds

Hi there on this sunny summer day!  These are the birds I share my studio with.  The painted one is above my door. It was painted by my daughters very talented art friend from Menomonie.  The other three watch over my computer. Enjoy the day.

This Way For Sure

I love this sign I photographed in Japan.  Seems it goes this way sometimes, yes?

New Work!

Busy getting ready for the ACRE Show in Las Vegas. Check out my new work.
And here is one of my new lamps!

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the new Stroke Of Art blog.
We all yearn for the real person inside.  When you find it - it will refresh your sagging spirit- you  will be spontaneous, wild even free and let go of control and enjoy the present.

I believe in the transforming power of Art.  We all are creators.  I believe that deeply. Look at the native americans.  They created not only utilitarian objects, but made them into beautiful works because since cavemen paintings, we all have earn for beauty and "Art".  We all have that creator in us. The Minneapolis Institute had a great exhibit opening of the art of the American Indian.   Intricate design, colors and amazing bead and piecework on everyday items.  I too look for the beauty in everyday objects.  I try to stay in the moment and reflect on all that is around me.  Let me show you how I see my world.
