Doors Opening and Closing
As you may have guessed, I have been away for a bit. It seems doors are opening and closing all the time now (maybe it is because I am looking for them). When I travel, I find my work becomes very charged with new ideas and new explorations. This time is not different. The challenge [...]
A Cool Pool Door
This is my rendition of a door in my town which reminds me of a cool pool set inside this hot brick wall. Okay,so maybe I am hallucinating here! Of course, this is my take on the door (actually two doors, but one opening). I hope you are staying cool.

Closing and Opening Doors!
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. Helen Keller Open and closed doors happen all around us. Do you immediately begin to search for the open doors when a door in [...]
