Matheus is making progress on his crawling… It is a matter of time now before we start chasing him around the house.

DON QUIXOTE

Friend of mine posted this on her blog and I loved it. I never read Don Quixote but will now.

DON QUIXOTE
It is the mission of each true knight…
His duty… nay, his privilege!
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go;
To right the unrightable wrong.

To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

This is my Quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!

And I know, if I’ll only be true
To this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars!

Family Portrait

A family portrait taken on my brother’s recent visit to NY. I wish my dad was still with us. I miss him dearly. Look at Moma Shama beaming as she is surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

My brother played guest chef… the man can BBQ with the best of them.

Still Lifes

I loved painting still lifes.  I loved the idea of iconography and symbolism playing a part in something so simple and ordinary as everyday objects. I also wanted to be a true “Cubist” and use this genre to explore shape, color, pattern and composition.

Exploring the figure…

If only I had more time… 55/25 if you know what I mean.
