In the rectangle
The world must come into being.
The whiteness stares at me with blankness
A void without form
Fear takes hold,
Falling into the abyss
Falling, falling
Hands twist at the conscience
Stagnation of heart, mind and soul
Yearning for the infinite
Screaming out in despair.
– from The Canvas poem in my book,
Art , Soul & Destiny:
An Artist’s Journey from America to Provence

It was unexpected – I felt my father’s presence as I cleaned off his riding boots and prepared them for a painting session. I had thought about doing this many times before, but had never actually taken the time to do it. A flood of memories and sensations washed over me as I painted his boots. I lived and remembered and loved.
