Ruby


My therapist has this wonderful dog that sits in on her sessions with clients.  Ruby is a sort of therapist.  If you are upset she will come from under the table where she naps and will get close, let hrself be loved on, and once you are better she heads back under the table and resumes her naps.  She has a sense of time, so about 5 minutes before a session is over she seems to know, and out she comes to send you off with a little of her special love.  I painted this for my shrink, who shrinks my problems, as a way to say thanks for bringing Ruby in to the healing process.  I don’t prefer realism, but I made an exception in this case.

The Artist






African Beads


One of my bosses at work had some jewelry from from a trip to Africa and the necklaces fell apart.  I took some of the beds and made her two new pieces from the material.

Blue Willow necklace

The pendant is made from a broken piece of blue willow.

Most Creative West Springfield HS 1970

I was much thinner back then. I used to have to run around in the shower to get wet.  That year I was considered creative because I had a chapbook of poetry published.    I'm not sure I was really the most creative male.
