…the working title of this recently completed encaustic painting.
Though words seem to interfere with visual aesthetic experience:
(click image for larger view)
Encaustic paint, on stretched fabric, and RC silver print, ruined by flood.
I found myself unable to throw away this particular scratched and ruined print,
with the others which were laminated to it by moisture.
I’d soaked the stack for days; hoping to separate and save the memories.
This photograph was made on the Eastern shore of the Great Lake Michigan;
sometime around 2005; give or take a few years.
This encaustic painting was created on the Western shore of the Great Lake Michigan in 2023.

Not for Profit
Some of my efforts go to “not for profit” groups. I’ve developed logos and am currently developing a web site for T:AP (Transcend: Art and Peace). A fellow T:AP member just sent this wonderful link, where we find César López building guitars out of AK-47 assault rifles. Imagine all the weapons in the world converted to musical instruments for 2008. Was a bomb. Now a drum. Happy dancing, peaceful New Year!
Don’t forget Seth Tyler’s sculptural use of hand guns (also my photography and web site design). Let’s ship Seth all those tanks and armored vehicles and see what he can do with them.
Another link, Still Point Zen Center, also shows some logo development as well as a newsletter design. And while we’re on this non-profit subject some of my logo and web work can also be found at Center for Community Stewardship and minimal efforts at The Starfish Foundation. Each of these organizations deserves whatever support we can offer.
