author / publisher of...PALETTE of the heart
|
This anthology of poetry is a product of the repeated encouragement of my many friends, without whom this would still be a collection of scribbles on the backs of envelopes and cafe napkins. It is inspired by life, love and romance, interspersed with my own observations of the ironies of life. My purpose in publishing is to share with people of like mind and thoughts. To read examples of my writing, click on the Poetry Link below. Additional pages are linked as you follow the reading trail...enjoy!

the ARTIST side of me...
|
To make art practical and financially rewarding I became a Sign Artist in 1971 learning silk screening, airbrush, brush lettering, gold leaf gilding, and refurbishing/reproducing antique signs, posters, and carousel horses. This trade is profitable but a dying art. With direction and sticktoitivness any artist could do it. I will be adding examples of my signwork on successive pages. If you have a sign project you need design help on, you can let me know by e.mail. I also sell a line of over 850 pre-airbrushed car tags, which can be personalized with your name or short inscription.

Signpainting ....... the Poetry of color
|
Poetry, like breathing, repeats itself each day. Each line is a fresh drawn breath of air....Words which flow with the rythm of a heartbeat....Essence of the lives we live...and work... and play.
I will continue to add poetry as I get better at building my pages. Please feel free to drop in from time to time. I have posted a better selection of poetry at my new site at Homestead.com. You will find a link below.
My book is a spiral bound collection of about 40 poems, available by mail. The price is $12.95 plus $3.00 S&H Please e-mail me with your mailing address for additional details.

This will take you to my new web site. There is no link back to this page so you will have to use your back button to get back. FortuneCity has simply too much advertising nowadays to be a practical place to have a web site.

Check out this beautiful hand carved replica of the 1909 M. C. Illions "American Beauty" carousel horse which I gilded and detailed. It was carved by my friend Tim Roberts. (The original is valued at $250,000.) The pictures will open slow, but it is worth the wait.
