If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

Derelict-Abstract Impressionism Abandoned Building Oil Painting



Derelict

24x36 Oil on canvas (Abstract Impressionism Abandoned Building Oil Painting)

  • I drove for an hour to a finger of land amongst lake tendrils

  • Back road photo of a rundown barn in a field

  • I'm so tired, but if I can only get a good photo this will be worth it

  • Forgotten barn, no trespassing

  • Fading light, body tired, soul sore

  • You may be abandoned but I found you

  • Not alone

By the Tracks

16x20 Oil on canvas

One does not always know what he can do, but he nevertheless instinctively feels, I am good for something! My existence is not without reason!...How can I be of use, how can I be of service? There is something inside me, but what can it be?

22x28 Oil on canvas

I can hear your whisper and distant mutter. I can smell your damp on the breeze and in the sky I see the halo of your violence. Storm I know you are coming.

Things Wished For

11x14 Oil on canvas

If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a prayer a magic-bean-buyer
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!

Plant Something



Plant Something
5x7 Oil on canvas panel

A professor gave me some valuable advice this past semester. He said that whenever he moves to a new place, no matter how long he will be living there, he always plants something and gets to know the people around him. We won't be living in Columbia for a whole lot longer, but these are petunias that I planted.
