    This blog documents the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled to three U.S. cities in 2006-07. During June of 2007, all eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries, while the Rembrandt exhibit debuted its three-month stay at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon. Read the documentation and see all finished works of this year-long project in the August 2006 through June 2007 entries on this blog.

Juggling Apples

Because of the Rembrandt/Dutch exhibit there will be more apples to juggle except this time they are GOLDEN. The seeds of those apples were planted in the spring, so it must be time to begin the harvest.

I think ideas must begin growing like a seed. Initially, it appears as a little brown nugget without much purpose. But as soon as you add a little dirt, some water, then some light, and a little love, it morphs in little increments and gains a life of its own. Little did I know that this seed would grow into an idea which has become a project which next will be an event which will encompass nearly a year of work. Each day the juggling game gets more fun.
