Mystery Tramp
Sunday, June 29th, 2025Collage is ideally suited to opening ourselves to intuitive discovery. It’s only natural for our intellect to seek the upper hand, but we can practice exercising our discernment to perceive the distinction between ordinary deliberation and a connection to the heart of creativity.

When Chance Comes to Call
Monday, June 9th, 2025“Never put off until tomorrow what you
can do the day after tomorrow.”— Sam Clemens, Oscar Wilde,
or some other unknown wit
Would that I had followed Ben Franklin’s advice in preparation for my class to share collage-making techniques and perspectives. When I “pick a card” like this and invite Lady Luck, I am more likely to find myself in the Mark Twain frame of mind. At any rate, everybody who signed up was fun to be with, all went well, I’m more than pleased, and surely I’ll do it again. We tackled multiple experiments to short-circuit the calculating mind and build intuitive spontaneity. Five participants were there on Friday and six on Saturday. My thanks to each of them and the hospitality of Kleinhelter Gallery!

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
— Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
Deep Morning Zephyr
This studio landscape study was inspired by my plein air practice and a recent train trip from California to Illinois via the transcontinental rail route envisioned by President Lincoln. Today’s memorial observance intensifies my gratitude for all the generations of soldiers and seafaring warriors who selflessly sacrificed all they had and all they would ever have to provide those like me the opportunity to pursue my creative calling. You are remembered and honored forever.
Fat Tuesday Catharsis
Tuesday, March 4th, 2025
Fat Tuesday seems as good a day as any to finish a pair of collage miniatures that clearly fall into the category of “catharsis.” Not all artwork in the Merz tradition is specifically purgative, but the synchronicity inherent in this dynamic approach lends itself to the impulse.
The genre is ever with us to explore
Wednesday, February 26th, 2025“I called it Merz. This new process whose principle was the use of any material. It was the second syllable of Kommerz. It first appeared in Merzbild, a painting in which, apart from its abstract forms, one could read Merz, cut and pasted from an advertisement for Kommerz und Privatbank. I was looking for a term to designate this new genre, for I could not classify my paintings under old labels such as expressionism, cubism, futurism, and so on.”
— Kurt Schwitters
