Junkbucket................ (my art for you)

Don't be thrown off by my title. It’s a name that I've hung on to like an old favorite tee shirt. In yours and my world here I draw, photograph, write, and cook; a place to express...to create. I am an artist by chance…of inspiration. I rarely set out to create and often just happen across my inspiration and hope it holds; it has walkways been that way for me and why I could not “do art” for a living. For while I might survive the gaps of inspiration on alcohol and torment, families expect electric, a roof, and to eat most days. I am a better man for it. So, you and I, we get what is left. The art work here is mine, either out of my head, from something around me, or a photo. My Blog for things I find here that inspire me... http://junkbucketsjunkbucket.tumblr.com/ INTj/p (j/p is situational) Loosely, a Philosophical Taoist.

Something to take your mind off all the stuff you shouldn't be worrying about

I'm relearning watercolor. So far the most interesting thing I've made is the paper towel I used to clean up my paints.

For each if you my friends...Merry Christmas It's been a really hard time lately but I wanted to share this year's Christmas Card I drew.

The Sun, all her planets, and their inexorable orbits around her. Light, warmth, and the reason they exist.

your simple beauty

a reflection from my eye

smiling at the thought

fall’s golden orange and reds

in leaves, pumpkins and apples

(A Tanka, Japanese poem like a hieku, for you)

Look and you will see;

Appreciate the beauty.
