Kiss The Night Air

Bonfires of joy

ballpoint pen

Corvallis OR 1971

The university was about an hour drive from the Oregon coast. On weekends ends we would pile into our friend's van and drive through the mountain forest to the beach. When sunset came we would light huge bonfires of driftwood logs and eat bread and drink red wine and dance with joy.

Hippy days, long gone, but still here.

Lines go where they want to. That's life.

There is no such thing as an incorrect line until another line is drawn next to it.

Colors, on the other hand, are like flavors.

"The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everyone rushes around in a great panic as if it is necessary to achieve something beyond themselves."

Message to Michael - Dionne Warwick

Just because I love this song.

We're going on a road trip today. Up to the north coast of the Island. We'll pack the van with my kids and ten or so cousins. And lots of food. And have fun 🤣

Let me tell you about blue...

The Pacific ocean is so beautiful.

It was a good week

Making these drawings, this past week, has been all together liberating. I am taking a short break while I consider what colors to explore next.

Let's talk.

My 8 year old son asks me why we're living in the Philippines, and I really don't know what to tell him.

How do I make sense to him out of a world that no longer makes sense?
