Hi Blog,
This is going to be short and sweet. I sent some e-mail here and posted some comments that (after reading them later) may have given the impression I was going to do myself harm. I won't...but that doesn't lessen the intensity of my feelings or change the message I wanted to send. I love many of you so much I can hardly stand it and would never do anything to willingly hurt you. I was in a place yesterday (and I'll save the details of why because they are VERY embarrassing) that I have been in before, a dark place where suicide was the only option in my mind. I made the mistake of coming home and referring to it on Facebook and coming on here and writing to people I truly care about...and may have scared? I need to calm down before I write things that may sound self-destructive and somewhat ominous! Still, as I say, my message to my wonderful and supportive friends here is I do love you very much. That will NEVER change. I do wonder why I don't get many comments or much for e-mail. I know people are busy so I won't panic, but I am here. I am working away on portraits and other pieces of artwork. I am also deep into getting ready for another school year...the in-service meetings are finally over and I actually got to see the little urchins today!!! Next week I get to start teaching again...Pre-Kindergarteners!!!
YAY!!!
Okay...this is not really short so I will say good night. I really do love SG and everyone here.

Hi Blog,
So here are a few tidbits from Maine. This was my last trip for the summer. I am back in school at In-Service meetings (which vary in boredom-ness from YAWN to GOD, JUST KILL ME NOW!!!). I won't actually get to see any kids until Wednesday and then only for a short time. I signed up to work with kids, NOT listen to windbags blather on and on and on...oh well, at least EVENTUALLY I will get to make art with the little urchins
Artwork will have to wait for a bit. I have some new stuff in the works, but with school starting I won’t have anything finished for awhile yet. I competed in a Scottish Festival this past Saturday (in Quechee, VT) and hoped to do better than I did at the Games in Maine...if the video clip works here (the sound is awful) it is my March at the Maine Highland Games in Topsham (see the YouTube links)...I wanted to at least get a 3rd place yesterday, but the piping Goddess wasn’t listening and I didn’t even place in ANY event (four in all). In fact my arch nemesis in competitive piping beat me in three events! It just wasn’t my day. Have fun and enjoy the last bits of summer …there are also links for two videos of Wolfe’s Neck State Park…nice spot with osprey nests and great walking trails for any ability…my tourism plug! Well, that’s it for awhile…back to mopping up water in my basement from “Irene” and working on a commissioned painting of cows!I love you all very much.
Hi Blog...
I got home late last night from a second trip to Maine. This one was with the dysfunctional family! It wasn’t a vacation so much as a weeklong intervention/counseling session/extremely tense face-off between very stubborn people, all set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. I should’ve pushed them all in the water and let the lobsters get ‘em! I tried to stay out of the way and sane…didn’t work on either count. I love the concept of family…it’s just MY family I can do without sometimes. Anyway, enough of that…here is a nice pic of Nubble Light. (I think it’s the most photographed lighthouse in Maine) I also have a video of riding by the beach in York, Maine that I will post to YouTube and add a link to at some point…it’s too long to post here.
When I checked here early this morning to see if anyone wrote or commented while I was gone I was dismayed to see only one new comment. I know it was only a week, but it made me sad nonetheless. Did I do or say something to offend anyone? I know I made it known I wouldn’t be on all that much because I wanted to work on SG-related (and non-related) artwork, but I’m feeling like I am no longer a member of this community. I used to lose my mind when I wouldn’t hear from people. That has changed because of long hours of therapy and “self-counseling,” but this is kind of getting to me. If my role is to be an outlier, a loner, an outcast…then I guess I have to accept that and move along. I guess I am just confused. Anyway, if anyone does care…and I hope more than a few of you do…I am still here. I will continue to post comments, blogs, and artwork as long as I am able to breathe. Two people whom I knew (not well, but enough for it to nearly cripple me) died recently and it made me scared, mainly because one was younger than me. Life is too short to waste…or be forgotten. It’s a shame when either happens to anyone.
Here are some finished and unfinished pieces I did two weeks ago during workshops in painting (oils, watercolors, and acrylics) …all over a period of 4 days. It was an intensive program meant to immerse the participants in various media. I am also working on two paintings of Jaclyn and one of Cadavre that I will post when they are done…one in each of the 3 media. And again, I’d like to sell any work people might be interested in to help a friend here at SG. So, if you have a favorite piece and would like it, just make me an offer and I’ll ship it to you for free (if you’re in the USA anyway)…thanks. I do love you all…you are my SANE family!

Hi Blog,
I am here to ask a HUGE favor…a good friend needs money because of a tragic experience. I don’t know if I should go into details here or not, she is a beautiful, wonderful lady and I don’t want to embarrass her unnecessarily. She can let me know when she sees this at some point (she is a SG and comments on my blog from time to time). Anyway, I would like to offer any of the drawings or paintings I have done and posted here (or other work if anyone is interested) for sale to help her out. I hope someone might be interested and any little bit will be appreciated I am sure. I have a large body of work and will ship any piece anywhere in the U.S. for free. I will also do commissioned work so if you have an idea that you’d like to see done in pencil or watercolor let me know. Thank you for your consideration and as always (even though I’ve been absent a lot) I love you all! I will have new work to post soon, I’ve been away on vacation and will be gone again soon…but then it’s back to my studio! (It’s been too hot to be up there working anyway!) Thanks again and stay safe and well all you beautiful people!
Oh, and here is a nice shot of the sunset at Pumpkin Island in Maine.

Hi Blog,
Here is portrait number one for Siempre, I hope she likes it. I have been working on it night and day so I could post it before leaving for Maine. I am going up to see one of my principals who just retired and has a house overlooking the ocean on Deer Isle. I am bringing my paint box so if anything good comes of the three days on the coast I will post pics next week. I need time away from the phone and bills and stuff…a little R&R is always good.
I have to mention that I appreciate the friends I have made here very much…I love you in fact. Whether I hear from you often or just once in a blue moon, my life would be far less rich and beautiful without you. I can’t help but get emotional over it. I guess being a Scorpio I feel things deeply…maybe that’s just me and has nothing to do with the Stars, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because of recent events…my bagpipe instructor’s husband is near death. He has Parkinson’s disease among other problems and it has hit me very hard. My piping teacher is an amazing woman, one of the best pipers in the world and a fantastic teacher. She puts up with my feeble attempts to master the instrument with great humor and encouragement…always ready to point out what I do RIGHT, even if it’s buried in all the millions of mistakes. I look to her for support when the competition season starts (already underway) and love it when I have her as a judge in a contest. She is ALWAYS fair and makes me want to be a far better piper than I can possibly be. My aspiration is to try and inspire my art students in the ways she inspires me. My heart is breaking for her and pray to my Goddess she …and her husband… will find peace.
So, my lovelies, I will enjoy some clams and “lobsta” for you soon. Take good care of yourselves and stay safe. I love you all.
Here you are Siempre...I hope you are doing well. You are constantly in my thoughts and heart...

Hi Blog…
Happy 4th of July weekend to all! I hope your weekend plans go well and you have lots of fun, see some outstanding fireworks, and celebrate with those you care about and love.
Just a few things:
To Cadavre, I hope everything works out for your dad…my heart and love goes out to you both.
To Toxic, Please have a look at the blog before this one …that’s the one I emailed you about. I hope you are doing well sweetheart.
To Rewski, I can’t wait to see your set tomorrow!!!!
To Merlowe…Thanks honey for just being a sweet lady!
To everyone else here…friends and acquaintances, hopefuls, members, etc, I am still here, plugging along …didn’t get the job I interviewed for, but what the heck, I still work in 3 schools so I can have lots of fun making art with kids and helping them with their problems, no worries. Write if you have time and stay safe and well. Life is too short to get pissed at much (except the Republicans!)…Don’t sweat the small stuff, and most of it IS small stuff. XOXOXOXO
Here is one for Jaclyn…I love the way I handled her face in this one, hope she likes it, too.

Hi Blog,
Here is one for Kornalina, I hope she likes it. I was going to do a larger drawing because of her great ink, but couldn’t resist just trying to focus on her eyes. I’ll do a larger piece at some point to include more of her fabulous ink and gorgeous look.
Now, on to something that has been bugging me for awhile and the reason I almost left SG. At one point a short time ago I may have mentioned feeling like an outsider, an outcast, EXCLUDED. These feelings were fleeting yet extremely strong – to the point I had flashbacks to the bullying I endured in school…a little latent PTSD. I’m not going to name names or make a reference to a specific incident because it doesn’t matter anymore. Suffice to say that at the time I felt betrayed by some of the people here and even what SG stands for as a community. Now I know I over-reacted and that the feelings were more about how I see myself as what anyone here did, or didn’t do. That’s why I am re-thinking my place here. I don’t mind being an outsider, have been one all my life. I’ve NEVER belonged to any group as such…sure I am in two bands and take part in other “group” activities, but I am primarily a loner. The artwork I do is really for myself. If I do a portrait of someone here and they like it, good…great in fact. However, the satisfaction I gain is from the knowledge that I did the very best I could do on the piece of art. It’s like I tell my students, look for the good inside YOU and compliment it every day…don’t wait for the outside world to compliment you. If I don’t like a drawing or painting, then it goes in my “failure file”…that’s a BIG portfolio full of artwork that DIDN’T work. I keep it so that when I get a little too high and mighty and full of myself I look in it and see all the blunders, goofs, and JUNK I’ve done in the past…very humbling! Anyway, so I’m not leaving SG…couldn’t do that for I’d miss some of the people here far too much. I’m just going to consider who my true friends are and what I can give them of myself…the love I have for them…plus the artwork I can give them. So, Blog, that’s all that’s on my pea-brain for today. I found out I have an interview for a part-time counseling position at a small elementary school (IDEAL!!!!) on Tuesday so keep your fingers crossed. Now I am going to go pull weeds and then work on a painting of Jaclyn.
I love you SG…always have, always will! XOXOXOXOXO

Hi Blog…
Okay, here is the deal, I am not leaving SG…I could never do that because here, this place, is too ingrained in my soul, too much a part of my (twisted as it may be) psyche. I have met and fallen in love with ladies here (Sorry JimCurt, we’re just friends LOL – couldn’t resist the joke and I’m way too punchy today so please excuse me), feeling closer to them than any of my psychotic family…in fact YOU folks here ARE my family! Anyway, I’m getting way off track. I will be here on and off, making comments and supporting friends in MR, sending email, and especially posting artwork – all whenever possible. However, having said that I have to add this, I am going to be putting much more time into drawing and painting…not just SG-related subjects, but other work as well. And I have to get outside to paint…summer is too short to spend inside at a computer. I spent 13 years in the travel business chained to a computer for 8 to 12 hours a day and then with all the writing for courses and exams…WHEW!! I’m a bit fried by staring at a little screen.
So, my plan is to check-in once in awhile and send friends’ sets some love, respond to email, and just say I am still breathing…as well as post art of all kinds. If you need me I am here so please email me and I’ll respond…I have a masters in counseling so unload anything you want on me, it’s perfectly fine…welcome in fact! For those people I promised portraits to…if you don’t write to me or acknowledge I am alive, you go to the bottom of the list. I’m sorry to be so cruel and heartless and I’m going to make a mash of expressing this, but if you don’t care enough about me to write once in a great while, then I have to make a decision about who I draw…I don’t have that much time and I want to be fair. If a person shows me they care about me and if I live or fade away, then they tend to get more of my attention…it’s just the way it has to be and I do feel terrible about it…I hate to be so emotional about it, but I spend between 8 and 12 hours …sometimes more, on each and every drawing and painting. If I do a drawing, put my life into it, and get a one-line response about it, it hurts…makes me feel I have failed…failed the person it is intended for. Unfortunately, that has happened a few times and I was devastated, even considered leaving SG because …well, enough about that.
So, my dear blog, lovely ladies, and you too Jim! I’ll be around …just lurking and all that. I love you all very much and feel honored and privileged to be a part of the best group of people on the planet…any planet! If I died tomorrow (and I pray every day to my Goddess that she leaves me here a little longer) I would be a happy man for getting to know each of you, even in a small way…and especially drawing some of you. That has been the best experience of all – having the opportunity to try and put on paper and canvas the beauty I see here. It’s what being an artist is all about, at least for me. So, for the moment, Auf Wiedersehen…I’m off to work on my portrait of Kornalina. I hope to have it done this weekend sometime. Have a happy summer, too!
XOXOXOXOXOXO

Hi Blog...
Okay, this one is for Audrisa...I think she looks kind of angelic in this pic and I couldn't resist using it...hope she likes it. I have a lot to say about SG and how I feel about being here, but I have no time now to spell it all out...so I'll be back to speak my mind later. I just wanted to post this for now. I have three days of school left to go, then I can REALLY relax and finally get some sleep (more than 4 or 5 hours a night). I can also get some more drawing and painting accomplished...maybe even some work done in the field - if it warms up and stops raining! Anyway...this is for Audrisa with love.
More later...tay safe and well. Don't forget to smell the flowers and listen to children laugh...best music in the world! XOXOXOXO

Hi Blog...I know, it's Monday, but I have to plug a fellow artist's work...which I am going to do from now on in my blogs (Just to warn the artists in question - who are all on SG) This is the work of Siempre. She has talent and better use it because it would be a crime otherwise. Now I have to get back to Audrisa’s portrait. Take care you lovelies and stay safe. XOXOXOXOXO
