It is often said that the eyes are the window to or mirror of the soul – Les yeux sont le miroir de l’âme.

The idea behind the quote is that when you look into a person’s eyes you can see who their “soul” – who they really are beyond their physical being.

I don’t know about seeing a person’s soul, but I do know that, if we are paying attention, in their eyes we can see their pain, their joy, their passion, their sorrow, their grief, their love, their caring and so much more.

Windows to the Soul explores this age-old belief and depicts life’s experiences flowing into the eye where they will wait for someone observant enough to truly see them.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who made an offer on “Lost” – my painting of a man in search of something.

I am deeply moved that so many of you like my work enough to want it for yourself.

Ultimately, the high offer was for $395 and I am thrilled to report that Lost can now be “found” in South Africa!

It is my sincere hope that each of you who contacted me about this painting will continue to follow my work and that you’ll always feel welcome to make an “offer” on any of my paintings.

Take care, my friends!
