Ok, Apparently blogs aren't dead as my son recently chastised me for not keeping things up to date. Oh dear! So here goes....the last year or so in a few sentences:
We moved. To a land far, far away where the mangos fall on roofs and sometimes the earth sways....you get the pic. Nicaragua is now our official home, and Flowery Branch is a joyful memory of the past.

My hope is that the new family loves this place as much as we did!
In the meantime, I have been busy doing fun stuff....like burpees and tire pulls at the Suttons! And painting murals whenever I see a free wall that is silently begging me to cover it with paint. I did do a massive mural [75 feet by 7 feet] with friends in La Chuscada...

And I have set up a studio in the little barrio of Monserrath and paint here. Lately I am stuck on hearts. Not the cute Valentine card ones, but real anatomical hearts.....filled with the allegory of what is in the hearts of those I see around me[ it is odd how easy it is for people to change their clothes, and their facial expression, but their hearts...well they tend to be crystal clear to me]

So with out further ado, here are a few pieces I have from The Heart of the Matter series...if I watch you long enough, I will paint yours.

#1 Hope Springs in Me

#2 My Cold Heart Still Burns for You

#3 Unfurling, I grow

So thank you Robert Bland for encouraging me.... will try to be a better blogger. I had no idea that anyone was even reading these!

More to come....
