Horses on the Merry-go-round,
when I was just old enough to hold-on, seemed real and alive. They each had names and personalities in my mind. I wondered why some looked happy and some looked sad. xodave
Water Oaks, as they were called when I lived on a dirt road
beside St. Joseph Sound at Dunedin, Florida.
I loved each one as I walked along that deeply rutted road nearly every day.
Huge, 1920's wooden mansions with these trees lined the unpaved (rare) road.

There were maybe a hundred bulbs planted in our front yard at our Bogus Hollow Farm
where we lived 8 years in Rising Sun, Indiana.
Winters in the country were always hard. So, looking for the colors of lichen to change marked the time to search for tiny green shoots of the coming flowers and easier weather.

For Emily Hunt Adams
New-born baby male calves cost fifty dollars back then around Rising Sun.
Neighboring meat farmers kept the females in their herds for future income as baby-makers
or just to be grown out for later auctions. Twice each day in late winter,
I would bottle-feed one of these lovable babies and give them names.
As with puppies they seemed to love me back.
But of course it was meal time that they loved. xodave
Not for sale.
I was struck with wonder when I saw a photo of a monk meditating by a river. Adding imaginary colors of sunset on some imaginary mountains made a natural fit for a painting. xodave

| Sold Lyrical abstraction refers to abstract paintings that are softer and more romantic in nature. Instead of drama and tension, this style has a relaxed randomness and spontaneity. It is called "lyrical," because of the imagery that allows the person to interpret or "read" it. xodave |
 |
This style could be called abstract expressionism, emotionally intense and spontaneously created. There is usually rebellion, tension and high drama in such compositions. NFS xodave |

| The Next Rembrandt Painting is so easy and emotionally satisfying. Above is my Opus 4, a 16x20 acrylic on canvas. Wow, was this fun! In my first week of trying, my FOURTH pictture. I couldn't imagine then that it was happening. I would imagine that a red, white & blue would be good in the corner. I looked on google for Images of the American flag. There were hundreds. I found one I could paint there. It looked okay. So I stared at the images and another thought came along: I googled for pictures of "octopus." I found an octopus with an angry looking expression. Adding a yellow hairdo completed another part of the total picture. On and on. Opps, I didn't like a little part I had painted under the chin of the orange woman so I simply covered it up with a glob of two or three mixes of green. When it all felt done I showed it to a couple of friends. Both said, "You are the next Rembrandt." N.F.S. xodave |

| "Hello? Hello? Can you speak English?" xodave |

| If I ever go trout fishing I hope the scenery is pretty as this. The fisherman was a photo in Field and Stream magazine. The mountains came out of my head and left a small empty spot on the brain. 16x20 acrylics on canvas.

"Serbia"
The closer I've come to the end of my journey through life I've become more of an Empath. An Empath is a person that is extremely sensitive to the emotions and energy of other people, animals and environments. Depressed by the murdering politicians around the world who were focused on Serbia recently, Picasso's Guernica gave me thoughts and pictures to help me vent my own emotions. I became obsessed with painting this 20x30 archival canvas using only black and white tubes of acrylic paint. I cried big cries every day that I worked on it. Click to see it better. Not for sale. xodave
"Nothing dies."

| Sold Alicie Warren, PhD., says, "When you study tree architecture you will never see trees in the same old way." Dr. Warren's daily work is to scientifically study what it takes to maintain a balance of mankind and the natural environment. She manages South Florida's Kingman Reserve. |
"I don't draw. I don't sketch."
Ever since I was a little kid I've not been able to draw. Not even tried to draw or sketch. And then one day in 2017 I picked up a fine point marker and did this. xodave
