It has been a challenge for me to post lately. Just look at my archive and you will see a steady decline. Often I wonder if there has been a decline in my work also?  Maybe this is because I'm finding it harder and harder to find time to create.  Part of that is because I'm riddled with A.D.D just ask my wife she will tell you.  No telling how many Polaroid collages I have made but the simple question is.  Do you see a progression or recession? Every artist wants to know if he/she is moving forward.  I hope my timeline doesn't reflect today's congress that is for sure!  There are ups and downs with every artist but I'm learning to cherish and be thankful for the times that I do get to create and also realizing that it doesn't always have to be about Art.....Creating can be about lasting relationships with others, bringing joy to someone that doesn't expect you to, making a dinner for your family. Bottom line we all create something not because we want to but because WE HAVE to..... 

I love the Shadow on the wall behind the lady.  Sometimes the shadows are far more interesting then what is really going on with works of art. This is the 6th Paper Collage and I have one more to show you guys.  I would love to hear thoughts on the small body of work.  The 7th one will be out next week, so please get your thoughts ready!  We have been so busy the last couple of weeks.  I have been really sick with a wicked cold. Just now getting over it.  We have moved out of 938 1/2 E. Palmetto.  I will miss that place, it was a great little hut.  The Palmetto name will still be used when I make up drinks on the fly.  Palmetto Stinger, Palmetto Bug, Palmetto Blues, and of course the Palmetto martini.  Mind you if you ask me to make you one of these drinks, it would be different each time!  Alison and I have bought a lovely house in the greatest City in Polk County, no need to mention the name, all folks know where I'm talking about.  Lord willing, we will close on or before November 20th.  More words to come.....
