		<title>Wandering into new Territory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I don&#8217;t know what I am feeling until I see it. I&#8217;ve been working on a new painting for a while now and have discovered some old feelings that were really there all along but somehow I just didn&#8217;t recognize them. Painting can be not just about what you see and how you apply [...]]]></description>

		<title>One with Nature: En Plein Air Workshop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Besides teaching my Drawing and Painting Workshop, I&#8217;m also teaching a Plein Air Class. Plein just means that you are painting outdoors. Class starts September 11th and runs through October 16th, Saturdays from 9:15-12 noon. Plein Air painting is an entirely different experience from working in the studio in that the light is always changing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the flesh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the flesh refers to the fact that I&#8217;ve recently brought over several contemporary landscape paintings to the SFMOMA&#8217;s Artist&#8217;s Gallery at Fort Mason, Building A, in San Francisco, right next door to the the renowned &#8220;Greens&#8221; restaurant.

		<title>An inquiring mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the 4th of July weekend I had two separate discussions with two different artists-that lead into each of them putting forth their idea of what constituted being an artist and consequently what then constituted good art. Both of these discussions were casual and each statement made in the moment. The first artist, Jack Scott, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intentionality and staying open to the unknown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I use landscape as a jumping off place to reach into the unknown, I started thinking about how one (me) can start off thinking about going in one direction and wind up in another. I&#8217;ve just completed five paintings that were derived from a photograph that I took down by the Corte Madera Creek-a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preparing for Life or Living in the Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow I&#8217;d convinced myself that I&#8217;d gotten separated from myself, from my painting from the mere fact that I&#8217;d been living and that certain aspects of living had taken my attention away from a contemplative life. Can you separate your daily practical life, that such as buying food, paying bills, cleaning the kitchen floor, tidying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waking from the dead or an intellectual revival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you can be dead for a long time but not know it. Despite working in an academic environment and despite consistently working in the studio, I&#8217;d say I&#8217;ve been brain-dead about art for about 20 years. There have been a few exceptions, such as when I got into a reading jag of art history [...]]]></description>
