The first thunder of spring wakes the dreams of night, splitting open the sleeping rock.

Heaven and earth begin anew, and this small self of mine awakens into the tenderness of what is newly born.

"Awakening Spring" holds motion within stillness, strength within softness. Mountain and water meet — one yielding, one advancing — merging into the fullness of spring's color.

The spring breeze unfolds slowly in the air, becoming the first melted snow on the ground, and a silent exchange of questions between the trees.

Inner Energy Art

The highest good is like water — water benefits all things, without contending.

In The Way of Water, I speak with water through my heart, watching and learning, over long stretches of time, the way it flows.

Using the technique of acrylic fluid painting, I walk within the spirit of ink wash.

Here, colors meet, dance together, and merge — becoming, at last, the painting held within my heart.

I call it: Inner Energy Art.
