Wake UP 

Daniel , my younger son visiting his mother in New Orleans , 1996.

Heres the first of the "coffeecup series". I think it was 1996. Not necessarily the first one but the first here. I am going through my sketchbooks and thought this would be a nice group to start with.

Here is a detail of my painting in progress. 

This is my older son, Isaac Johnson.Today Sept.20 is his birthday. I like to call him Otis. Happy Birthday Otis, thank you for being my son. 

That's my Daddy, his first birthday without him was Sept. 18, the power was out for several days so I couldn't post this. I can hear him laughing. 

Here is a painting I did out my window, when I lived in an attic in New Orleans several years ago. I am praying that all will go well there at this time
 

IraqiwarCollage

When they started bombing Baghdad; I couldn't paint. I had this collage I'd been playing around with forever, made of Camel cigarette packs. I was living in a shack in the woods. I'd switched to Bugler. So there I sat with my feet on a camel saddle in the debris of my life, my scissors and lighter tied to my easel, cutting out little pieces of paper and sticking them on a board, listening to the BBC. Praying for PEACE. I STILL AM. Only now I listen to Coast to Coast late night talk radio, I am back to PAINting now and praticing being PEACE in each moment in spite of it all.

Heres this one
