The Lost Art of Painting on Windows

Here is the time to bring out the Christmas articles - this one is about my exploits as an artist when I painted Christmas windows for the Holidays. I did hundreds of painted windows for Trader Joes and 24 Hour Fitness for many many years..... This article has pictures of some of my work and also explains how I started painting and how my career progressed over the years. I may come out of retirement this year to paint a few windows so we will see if the weather cooperates.... 40 degrees outside is just a little too cold for these 51 year old bones!

President Obama serious about climate change

My latest report at the San Francisco Examiner: This isn’t just about saving the dolphins anymore. And it’s not just about saving trees either. President Obamas bold stance on climate change is about saving us. Without a sustainable Earth, our future and the future of our children and grandchildren are threatened by the effects of climate change: drought, floods, fires, and sea level rise will worsen significantly if we don't take immediate action. Millions of lives could be at stake if we fail to come together now in perhaps the single most defining moment on Earth.
