“Sharing
the journey…sharing the dream.”
A pair of magnificent cougars warming themselves in the
early morning sun. This
image was done as a tribute to a good friend who shared my dream of
becoming a professional artist. His
name was Peter Law. When we
first began to follow our dreams we spent a good deal of time in my
studio, he creating the most incredible images with pen and ink as I
developed my skills with scratchboard.
Sadly, Peter’s journey was cut short by cancer.
In his memory I created Companions in his pointillism
style…thousands of tiny dots, rather than scratches.
Peter had more influence on my work and on me than he knew.
I miss that influence and the “character” that provided it a
great deal. In the course
of a lifetime our companions come and go.
Cherish each and every one of them.
One never knows how long their journey, or ours, may be.
