The Journey

2.5" x 3.5" ACEO watercolor ink "Sego Lilly"


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. -Douglas Adams


This quote pretty much describes my life and my art. When I start a painting I have something in mind but, the painting usually ends up as a surprise to me, a happy surprise, but not at all what I intended. Life is like that: we start with a plan but life takes you in other directions than you planned and you look back and say "that was a tough road, but I'm not in such a terrable place. I'm not where I intended to be but, not a bad place after all" and perhaps the journey and the struggle made you different than
you would have been.
