The Gratitude Of A Coffee Cup Of Cool Water

I believe art to be humans attempt to articulate gratefulness in response to the mountains, the great rivers, the sun and moon, the plains and earth and stars.  But one soon knows that no art can adequately satisfy the bar of gratitude the earth and heavens raise.  What are we to do?  I have found there is but one solace for the artist sitting in front of his creation; seeing past it to The Maker of the heavens and the earth.  I have found this to be the greatest joy of my studio practice, and thankfully the Only reason for it.


In that vein I find the offering of a beautiful hand made cup synonymous to “the cup of cool water”, equally able to allow us to be in His image.
