“I would like to be a skilled
and consummate draftsman. I try to use a
collection of sensuous colors, often revealing mysterious hidden forms. I would love to convey the ability to see
between the figures, melding and infusing them into an environment of endless
nuances where abstraction and representational images are comfortable in the
same space and where passion and humanity resonate. Once I learn to do this well, I will be
obligated to pass this on, just as this information has been based on to
me. Thank God for our masters!”
“I’ve learned that art is
making me, rather than me creating it.”
-Paul T. Goodnight

self healing and balance. He received
