Old Letters That Make You Smile...

It’s funny how a scrap of paper can collapse forty years in a heartbeat. The ink has faded into that soft, ghostly blue, but the handwriting still carries the weight of a younger man's ambitions. Standing here in the studio, I can see the garden waking up through the window: those tiny, stubborn green tips of life finally pushing through the cold earth. It’s a beautiful tension between the permanence of the written word and the fleeting, rhythmic pulse of the seasons.

In Abstract Portalism, I’m always trying to capture that same friction: the thick, heavy impasto of our physical reality meeting the fluid, ethereal wash of the spirit. Spring reminds me that we’re all just works in progress, layered over and over until the depth starts to mean something. Keep creating through the transitions, my friends. The light is finally starting to stay a little longer.
