: About Me

I'm an artist, poet and have written many "operations" manuals for companies. I spent 20 years selling fine art to collectors and have an extensive knowledge in that area. I also trained people to sell art. I will try to share some of that information, though I prefer more creative work. I love good poetry and make a stab at writing it. For awhile I was writing a blog for an on-line newspaper called The Seaside Sun. I've just finished and published my first book, "Miss Barbara Paints the Airedale Terrier", being sold on Amazon.com, and am now working on another.

I am also extremely interested in genealogy and believe that who we are today rests upon who our ancestors were to an extent. With that in mind, I can tell you that I'm related to Geoffrey Chaucer, Willa Cather and several other well known writers. I also have an interest in politics and religion and have often written about both. I consider myself somewhat sarcastic when writing humor. I usually get in trouble if I let that "imp" out of the "bottle" too often.. All in all I enjoy expressing myself conversationally and I enjoy other peoples company..(at times probably more than they enjoy me!).

My passion is ...

Creativity and order.

I know too much about ...

Selling things

My childhood ambition ...

Was to become a great fisherman!

My favorite memory ...

Shaking hands with my Father.

Why I write ...

Can't help it. Creative irritation activates the impulse.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

..always watching the turmoil in the mideast.

My first job ...

Golf Caddy

My best moment ...

When I learned to give it away.

My inspiration ...

Jesus Christ and My Wife.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Midnight mass

27 of 31

Before the Mass We enter the woods surrounding the church we love.  We surrender our hearts to one another and to Christ as we Look above.. Overhead,  the spinning, glorious center of His Universe... Oh what stars!  ... and there, up there is it Jupiter and perhaps... is that Mars? We inhale His divine love filling the cathedral of the world.... Whoops! ….Time has uncurled. It's almost Midnight... better hurry, we don't want to be Late for worship!
