I had this vision one day to create a quiet place in my yard , a place to sit and meditate. Listening to the sound of water falling...I love to make things from nothing , beautiful areas. I started with the back drop made from old thrown out windows and columns. Built this screen with the curtains to gently flow in the breeze. Then I started on the pond. Asked for somewhere to find rocks , a friend dropped me off a truck load of them. WOW! Dug the shape to fit the pond liner I had from a previous job, built the sides up with bricks. Made the back taller for the waterfall.
Everything you see in this photo was given to me.
The 2 pine trees, the plants around the pond, the 2 old adirondack chairs , there is a small dogwood tree. The gazing globe and stand was made by my son the welder. The bark chips are from the city from chipped up trees. Its possible to have beauty even though you might not be rich, I am rich in talents and friends! THANK YOU

Tree of Life Stained Glass
The phases of the moon adorn the branches of the tree, which portray the seasons of the earth. If you look closely , the wintry branches are made with flashed glass. Flashed glass is a process where colored glass is introduced to molten glass and the two pieces meld and become one. Then the glass is masked off in the areas to keep the color, and the glass is sand blasted to reveal the white wintry branch.

His name is included on the list of "AMERICAN JAZZ TRUMPETERS," and he has toured extensively in Asia, Mexico, Canada, Europe and the United States, performing on the world stage with big bands, jazz combos and public touring acts since 1966.

I am honored to have painted this great Trumpet player and also to be his friend.
He said , "I believe that artists are arguably the most valuable people on this earth. For they seek to inject the culture with all the art, beauty , aesthetics you find on this planet. Without the working artist , the world would not be as livable , and I am proud to be counted as one of them." ( quote) www.danjacobsmusic.com

TIM FRONCEK
JAZZ~
I visit a small town bar where there is this AWESOME Jazz Orchestra consisting of 16 members. They play there every other week . I LOVE their music, its mostly Big Band. The drummer is one of the best and most fantastic musicians I have ever heard. And loves to throw in a solo,or two.
Tim not only performs locally, but also tours internationally with the Western Jazz Quartet, performing throughout the Americas. Europe and Asia. Mr. Froncek is musical director with two ot the mid-west's premier big bands, the Muskegon based Orchestra " Truth in Jazz Orchestra" and the newly reorganized Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra and he directs the jazz program at Blue Lake Summer Festival. He is an affiliate professor at Grand Valley State University and teaches on the Jazz Studies faculty at Western Michigan University. In fact , Tim has taught at every major university in the state of Michigan.
I was so moved when hearing them play I created this series of paintings. The style I painted in was also new for me, I added more movement, color, and had feeling for the music.
The painting is done is rich, luscious oils and varnishes. Painted on a birch plywood base , then coated with a heavy textured paste to give it a dimensional quality. Then the surface is coated with a gesso and the oils can begin. The size is 24"X24" . Sorry but this original was sold instantly. I do have prints you can purchase for $40 . I am working on painting all the members of the group. So keep your eyes
