Don't know why I'm up so late or is this early? I looking for a good quote for my trip to Florida and my visit with my Uncle. ..... Maybe this one..

“When our loved ones die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.”

Pablo Picasso 

Buf in time we swim back to the surface of life and continue our journey. 

I will be painting soon, 

December 7th a sad day

A lot of very good people died on Dec.7th. One of the best was my Aunt Kay. She was a beautiful person. To know her was to love her. So talented in so many ways and she possessed a wonderful sense of humor. Her talents were in architecture, business, art, dance, teaching, and a great helpmate to her Husband. When most people slow down in there senior years Aunt Kay began teaching art. Laurie and I have several of her water color painting which are outstanding. I will miss Aunt Kay. I know that we will meet again and I will give her a big hug and kiss. .     

Zazzle and Christmas

Laurie and I have been collaborating in creating great items in our Zazzle Stores. I do the abstract stuff and stick figures and Laurie creates the designs that are sold in our stores in Zazzle. Laurie's photos have made great and lovely art buttons, cards, bags, etc. She is getting better and better and sales have gone up because of her talents. There are three stores each having unique items.
Elfinart - featuring a fun variety of collaborative efforts between Laurie and me
Celebration of Diversity - Laurie's photography shop, featuring photos & experiences from around the world
Gene Foltuz Art - highlighting my original art work
What has been very interesting to us is all the places in the world that have purchased items. I didn't realize how far Zazzle's internet reach goes and it seems to keep growing.

Lima is really dressing up for Christmas. The big park in Miraflores has a giant Christmas tree in front. Soon there will be singing of carols in the park. And best of all, Mark, Debbie, and our grand kids will be here visiting us.

I thought that this would be time to come back to my blog. I have a new media form to express my craft. I'm using a digital art program to create abstract art. I hope that those who read my thoughts will find them enjoyable and will enjoy looking at my art work.
I've not stopped using my airbrush or paint brushes. In fact I have a new air compressor to replace the that stopped working.

This digital painting is called "Fountains of Lima" it is a 16X16in. painting. I have created about 17 Digital paintings.
