Last month, Simon and I had a impromptu photo shoot with our visiting mutual friend Chris. This is a special image I created using several Photoshop techniques.
As you all know I study ACIM and it states that the body is but a symbol of separation from God. But it is also emphasized that it’s NEITHER good nor evil, but merely a symbol. That symbol, can also be used by the Holy Spirit to show the beauty and grandeur of God’s presence, if I but look from a perspective of Sinlessness.
A sunset, a rainbow, a nude, These can all be opportunities to witness to God’ glory and Sonship. As a gay man I prefer to view male bodies – how about you? Where do you see the shining light of God’s love.

Jerry, a friend of mine , living in Dok Kaew Garden assisted living facility on McKean hospital Senior Center grounds showed me this beautiful area near his room. What a wonderful place to meditate and relax.
This is my 16 x 16 inch digital Acrylic Oil painting. I’ve told them to keep a room open as I plan to retire there when my roving days are over – probably fairly soon Lol.

On March 3rd, Simon and I took a quick trip to Mae Rim and visited 2 locations.
At both places we met the owner and artist who developed the attraction. They are located right next to each other in beautiful Mae Rim valley area. What a day to relax and meet two wonderful people , each with inspiring stories. – Great places to visit and NOT the usual tourist traps, but unique sites of Unseen Thailand. Seeing is believing, so I really recommend that you visit them yourself on your next trip here..

Started using the “Bristle brushes†in Photoshop for my paintings. Much better control and effect. This is a scene I saw on a recent trip a few weeks ago to “The Giant†treehouse restaurant in Doi Saket, north of Chiang Mai. A small coffee shop on the way had this display in their parking lot – just had to paint it. Digital Acrylic Oil painting — 15 inch x 10 inch.
P.S. Went back with other friends yesterday and had car trouble, my 4 wheel drive unit locked up and I had to be towed back to the repair shop – still without a car so I had time to finished this painting I was working on – funny it was a scene from my last visit there – maybe a omen.

This Digital Acrylic Oil painting, 10in x 15in canvas is my interpretation of a great view I spotted while on a trip to visit the Hmong village at Doi Pui with Simon last week. I particularly liked the contrast of the brilliant red poinsettias against the blue sky and the rustic building.

New computer running, I started back painting. My first task was to finish a painting of a “Smiling Buddhaâ€. I think I saw it somewhere near Sukhothai but not sure. I did use the new plug-in AD-Impasto which gives me the ability to present an impasto simulation effect to the paint – mild but very noticeable at full size – this painting is at high printing resolution 300 dpi, 10 in x 15 in –Digital Acrylic Oil paint.
