Art and Mind Chatter

It has been almost five years since I've added to this Blog site; I spend most of my time teaching academic writing and research basics to undergraduates at the University of California San Diego.  

I've had to find a way to calm the "mind chatter" during my summers off, one that doesn't involve the written word.   So I've taken a new direction: painting.   Here in Fallbrook, we're surrounded by a crazy jungle of native and exotic vegetation.  The contrast in colors and textures is mind-blowing.  It's a great place for a novice artist to give it a try.  


Here are a few of my creations.  Enjoy!
