 This is a tiny detail from a new archival print in my eBay store, called "Broken Hearts." There's an original painting in this series, "Blue," in the new Broken Heart Pictures page on my website. I have two more in this series already done but not posted yet. I think I'll put one up as an eBay auction soon. When I do I'll mention it here the same day.

Just finished reading Joseph Chilton Pearce's book, "The Magical Child Matures." This is a sequel to "The Magical Child." Both book are about normative human development, as contrasted with normal. In other words - they're about human development as nature has set it up to occur.

"The Magical Child" was illuminating but depressing to read. The gap between the ideal and the actual was just so enormous, and one couldn't help comparing the ideal to one's own childhood. As Robert Bly said, the only appropriate response to one's own childhood wounds is grief. "The Magical Child" certainly made those wounds bleed again.

"The Magical Child Matures" is much more encouraging. It led me to search for some more Pearce writings online. I found one last night that showed his excitement over research at the Institute of Heart Math. I'd been reading books from this institute over the past few months, so it was exciting to me to see this convergence.

Anyway - the heart is "where it's at." And I seem to want to do paintings about broken hearts healing. So - why not?

  "Begin Now" - My daughter has the original painting on canvas. Prints are available at my eBay store. Also you might want to see the Heart Pictures page on my website. It will keep growing.
