Today’s watercolor experiment: I am still working with the icons I developed for my brother Mike and me. Mike is my older autistic brother, for those of you reading my blog for the first time. Mike is very low functioning and nonverbal. One of the themes I have used in previous watercolors is a triangle […]

Today’s watercolor experiment: Yesterday’s mask was a little ambiguous to my eyes. I wanted to create a face that was an amalgam of my brother Mike and me. Mike, my brother, is autistic, very low functioning and has never spoken. That mask didn’t quite fuse my features with my brother’s. I met with more success today. I see […]

Quite a while ago in this blog, I wrote about the artist Joan Miro (Peinture-Poésie). I was fascinated by his paintings and how he used icons. For a while, I tried developing my own expressive shorthand (Narrative or Portrayal of Feelings; ‘Stop’ Icon Development; Icons in Practice; Progress in Iconology). I was, on the whole, […]
I plan to have a website featuring my artwork functional by the first of the year. Each day prior to the activation of my website, I will re-post a few of my watercolors. Below is the first group.

Today’s watercolor experiment: I have an obsession about the past. In part, it has to do with my desire to go back in time to try and fix things. My older brother Mike has a lot to do with that. He is autistic, low functioning and nonverbal. I have never been able to communicate with […]
