I am an Arizona American Aesthete now actively pursuing the therapeutic wellsprings of creativity endeavors, discovering an Artist and Author lifestyle opens to a new beginning. My life experiences and past professional business world career employment as an IBM Large Host Systems Computer Software Designer Developer Analyst are now integrated with the world community of Art and Artists. Welcome to My Web Site (a do-it-myself-just-for-fun-and-sharing site) filled with my Computer Canvas Creations, my writing, and photographs of my pet Pekingese, friends and family. I enjoy being a Pekingese hobby breeder for over 20 years of street smart champion show Pedigree puppies for myself and Pekingese-loving friends. This love for Pekingese and my daily activities with them yields many opportunities to photograph and create Art images exhibiting their beauty. My favorite quote often given with my Pekingese kennel name in my emails is "My Kingdom for a Song" and my home hobby breeder kennel is named "My Song Pekingese Park" (chosen to refer back in time to the Song Dynasty of China between 960 to 1279 AD following the Pekingese breed initial appearance in history (5th century)). I enjoy writing poetry, articles about Art, my Pekingese, and matters that occupy my thoughts worthy of communicating to others. I believe Art is the language of the Soul. Writing is an Art, and one that helps the writer as much as the reader when perfected thus justifying the time and effort expended. My personal life philosophy is realizing that what I do today is for improving what I do tomorrow and remembering without regret what I did yesterday. |

You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
~Eleanor Roosevelt~
Learning to improve your competency at something such as fixing computer
problems or beginning with a blank canvas is sometimes fearful but with
courage we can be glad we tried and triumphed.
There is self esteem and satisfaction earned by simply doing what we thought at first we couldn't.
Forgiving, correcting, and erasing mistakes is also important.
That is why Spring is so significant, spelling out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. It is always a new beginning and a fresh start. It is the beckoning blank canvas summoning consciousness-raising creative energies.

Art esthetically enhances the environment for all in it, now and for the foreseeable future. The Artist is the medium; he transforms vision into reality, using various media, to create Art. It would be difficult for a person with no soul to appreciate Art. "People are never one thing or the other, and experiences are often a mixture of joy and sadness. It makes sense that Art isn't restricted to one set of definitions or limitations". -M. Stephen Doherty,
Editor-in-Chief of American Artist. He answers adroitly, and timely, the true meaning of Art. As an Artist with an eternal soul,
I enjoy enhancing the digital photos taken of my Pekingese rendering them into animations, stationery, and other home computer Art products. Born in the sign of Gemini and employed as a IBM computer software systems designer and developer for International Corporations most of my life, I am now retired and enjoy a life as an Artist painting with Watercolor, Oil, Mixed Media, and other Computer Canvas Creations Art via PC Computers using the Corel Painter X program, Paint Shop Pro 9, Photoshop, Photo Impact 10 and Artists utility software.

An epigram statement I recently wrote is
"Art is NOT a necessity of life...??? |
I really do enjoy music, poetry, and all visual arts (the Pekingese dog is truly a living sculpture work of art with many different colors, coat textures, and faces).
"Art can draw the viewer into a more intrinsic moment, and it is in these moments that we evolve."

I have come to terms with the fact

Words are the loose change of thoughts and can become a fortune if saved and used wisely.
Unlike thoughts they can be referenced when needed, a valuable resource that can be shared with others.

It is enjoyable to receive emails and photos from their new owners... many of whom become close friends helping one another! |  | I A M C H E R O K E E ENTER N A T I O N A L |
