and writer Adam Goldstein for the nice write-up of my monotype show at Red Delicious Press. It was a much more generous use of ink than I was expecting. You spelled my name right, and everything after that is icing on the cake.

To those who think I may be squirrelly: You may be right, but press releases are well worth the twenty minutes it takes you. I am no worshipper of Mammon:

But neither do I want to hide whatever feeble light I may possess under a bushel.

The Prayer

Posted on October 14, 2012 | 2 comments

Monotype, 22″ x 15″.

This monotype is one of twenty-one brand new monotypes that I’m currently showing at Red Delicious Press. I am grateful to Dave Wyzenbeek, Lisa Kerns, Susan Vaho, and Joe Higgins for the myriad of help they provided that allowed me to put up this show. I don’t think there are many open hours, and I don’t know how many people will see this show. I don’t really care.

What I do care about – what elates me – is that my son is returning from ThemiddleofnowheregodforsakenNebraska to the greater Denver Metro area this week.

I don’t really know how to pray, but if I did I would think my prayer had been answered. We don’t have any fatted calves in the freezer, but we do have a really nice leg of lamb begging to be stuffed with sun dried tomatoes and spices and put to spin on the rotisserie. My heart swells.
