Creative arts highlight: Paul Kincaid

I have decided to do a highlight of someone in the creative arts regularly, and this month I have chosen Paul Kincaid, luthier of 12 years.

This article from The Alchemist Weekly, Corvallis, OR, October 2010 says it better than I could. Check out the article here, page 8:



And here is an article from the Gazette Times:

Quote for today...and probably my life motto

"It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more manhood (or womanhood) to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind."
- Alex Karras

Cool window in the abbey in Battle, England

Feeling so grateful that my muse is still keeping me company.

Creativity can't be forced, but it can be nurtured. And I can leave the door (and windows) open for it.





p.s. yes, I am aware of the irony that I included a picture of a window that is barred shut. Just pretend you can open it. Haha!

I love the light showing through these petals

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

They are so cute
