A State of Waiting
 |
| Waiting for Spring - 14 x 18 Oil |
This January I feel like a herd dog, trying to keep all the stray ideas penned up in the corral, lest the coyotes drag them off during the dark of the moon. But at the same time, the prospect of a new season has me glancing ahead toward a future with new and re-claimed freedoms,

| Dig It - 6 x 6 Oil |
a re-connection with the Earth, and its
 |
| Possibilities - 16 x 20 Oil |
I'm working on the sequel to A Coward's Guide to Oil Painting - the Novel, thinking about friends and family, missing our get-togethers. Meanwhile, let's celebrate quietly.
Peace

Happy Thanksgiving
I wish:
I could confer on the world the universal capacity for synesthesia – the ability to touch sound, to listen with the eyes, to see the flavor of something, to feel the way light hits a leaf and sends a prismatic vibration through the atmosphere . . . to taste a picture.
And I would awaken the desire in each of us to listen to all our neighbors with whom we share the miracle of life on this planet.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, MM Kent.

The latest book review on Amazon
A Coward’s Guide got its first 2 star (out of
five) review today. I’ve been wondering when this would happen. All along I’ve told
people, “You’ll either love it or hate it.” This Amazon lover hated it. Let the
book’s title be a clue: If you have no interest in art, then take a pass. MM

Low Quality - Two Stars
I tried to get into this book but the story was simply not up to par. The author did an okay job of describing the setting but a very poor job of developing the characters. This ultimately led to the story being hard to follow and digest. The author seems to rely too much on the art side and too little on the writing side.
I have rated it 2 stars as fans of oil paintings may
find some pleasure in it. Outside of that, it's a pass.
First person characters develop from the inside out. A Coward’s Guide is written almost entirely in first person, which means the reader must be able to empathize or else all is lost. :)
