I love the fall. It’s a season of moderate temperatures and a time of honor and love.
Ordinarily we don’t honor much in our society. Somehow we have the erroneous perception that honoring others minimizes who we are. It is quite the contrary.
Honoring and loving others strengthens us. These fall holidays that we celebrate and enjoy are about honor and love in one way or another: Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Hanukkah.
My art is shaped by childhood trips to historic Fort George Island. My passion for history and the ocean began early. While my father fished, I played on the jetties and splashed on the beach with my siblings.
Although my parents were baffled by their artistic child, they never discouraged me from following my dream. They supported me at Hampton University. My mother flew to my graduation from the University of Hawaii.
Whether painting lighthouses, portraits or historic buildings, I recall the fond days when my love of the ocean and history were instilled.
