I think of focus as having a singular purpose. A Lighthouse has a focused beam of light, and exist for a singular purpose. To warn ships of danger.

Really a lot, to get in such a small space. I wonder how long the Lighthouses will remain, I am afraid they will go the way of the Covered bridge.

Perchance I walk on distant lands,
Where ne'er did foot to find it's path,
But oh,
What glory it would be,
Embraced in natures simplicity.

I guess looking at the snow,has put me in the mood to paint snow. I live in a 1924 renovated farm house. I'm sure it probable doesn't have any insulation in the walls. So I will be particularly happy to see spring.

Aceo miniature original watercolor painting of a tree
The Grand parents have been trying to come for 3 years to see my son Tyler play basketball. Every time they make plans to come it snows, and the game is cancelled. They are calling for snow on game day again. First real snow of the year, what's the chance of that. This is like the 6th time. I am suppose to teach a painting class with 20 people, on Saturday and it is suppose to snow on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Looks like that might get cancelled as well. Ouch!

I am getting ready to teach a class in acrylic. We are basically going to try to paint a painting in 2 hours. It should be really interesting. I am going to try to make them use really large brushes. I think the people that have been painting for a while, are going to have a harder time with the large brushes, than the people who have never painted before. We shall see. This is the first time I have done a large group, so it should be interesting on my side as well.

Star Trek and Original Miniature Aceo painting of a country road
Happy New Year Everyone,
I am having a hard time believing it is 2010 and only 2 years till the end of the world. Just kidding! There have been a lot of books on the year 2012. I am now living in or past the time frame of most of the science fiction shows that I saw as a kid.

Star Trek
This talk of science fiction has gotten me thinking about Star Trek and the future. They seem to work all the time. Some things never change!Star Trek
I have heard other people talk about the fact that they never go to the bathroom. That got me to thinking that maybe they aren't getting enough fluids. There are many different levels to a Starship and what, like 370 people or so. It's like a small city. But the only place they seem to be able to get water, is in their rooms or in the Cafeteria. That's pretty inconvenient, they are probably all dehydrated. It's no wonder that they don't ever go to the bathroom.
