This is my beginning, introductory post.  
I will be including Art and Thought postings from an artist who has been a professional for over 50 of his 81 years.

• About art including excerpts from my yet to be published book on 'completing' the 170 year old Modern Art movement. 
• About the five necessary goals to attempt to attain in order for a work to be considered Fine Art. 
• The internal, unspoken thoughts that occur during my process of creating paintings and drawings.
• My personal life experiences that have led to discoveries, and ideas, stories, and opinions as they arise.

I understand that they are my opinions, not some absolute truth.     However every valuable (and valueless) movement begins with a personal opinion.  I suggest that it is opinions that work for usable good that become accepted as true.  I welcome thoughtful disagreement and discussion.  It is valuable to me as Life and Art are learning experiences for me.
