Dear <<Name>>,

I remember a conversation with the first big gallery director who took a chance on my work. This was Michael Hertrich in Pittsburgh, to whom I am ever indebted for his wisdom.

I'd brought in a new batch of paintings. A considered look came over his face. Then he took me to his office and sat me down. "You think time and effort make a better painting. Nothing could be further from the truth."

Sustainable defines a turning point that makes all the difference.  

I learned to put in my time and effort off-canvas - so that every paint stroke that touches the canvas is natural, authentic, effortless and at ease.

When I teach using methods that distract or catch students off their guard, this assures a freshness, a heartiness that sets the painting up for success. The slight bump from control to "What am I doing?" gives just enough free fall to discover you can trust the ride. You've got this, like a bicyclist going downhill. 

Tomorrow's Delving the Depths workshop is still open if you want to hop on the bike. 

The process we'll use is one of my favorites. We'll build beautiful, unselfconscious layers of dry and wet, straight and torn, positive and negative - and bring the surprise home to completion. 

Between healing the past and dreaming the future, there is a time for digging into the present. Before a tree can reach up, it's got to reach down, sink roots into the earth and really nurture itself.

What do you appreciate about yourself? What would nourish you to be the person you want to be? What do you most dearly wish to give to life? These are worthy questions to bump you into free fall.

Yours in the joy of beauty and spirit,
