Music soothes the soul

I love music. Although I don't consider myself a musician, I enjoy playing with sounds and creating songs. As with everything I usually work on, I get lost in the process and can spend countless hours on a piece. Only now am I comfortable enough sharing my art with the world.

Beauty In The Eye

Of course art is subjective and it's the beauty of it. Several people can look at the same thing and see something different. When I took this picture, I really appreciated the symmetry and the lines and curves taking my gaze up to the sky. A friend of mine saw the little hammers that hit the strings and make the notes on a piano. I wonder what others might have seen.

Art Is Good For The Soul

We all face tragedies in our lives and we cope in different ways. For me it's been some alone time and working on an art piece that I had started a long time ago. Hours of concentration on these tiny details kept my mind busy until I was ready to acknowledge and accept the devastating loss of a very dear friend.

New Manuscript

After publishing my collection of poems last year I decided to work on a second writing project that was just gathering dust on my desk. I reviewed and corrected a play, a comedy, that now I also want to publish. At this point I am not sure what the next step will be after publication. I do not know anybody in the theater business but I will start doing some research. It would be incredible if a small theater group was willing to stage my play.

La Dame de Fer

I know. Three posts, three Eiffel Tower pictures. Even though I have not lived here in decades, Paris is still the most beautiful city in the world for me. Of course, one of its most known landmarks is the Eiffel Tower built for the 1889 World Fair. The tower remained the tallest man made structure in the world until 1930 when the Chrysler building was finished in New York City. It still inspires me after all these years and countless pictures.
