| Introduction | I'm a retired graphic artist from an Oregon community college. I now spend my free time painting landscapes, drawing erotic art and writing poetry, inspired by Emily Dickinson. I'm a fan of the Bible, especially the book of John, Jesus' closest human friend. John 15 is the most inspiring and motivating chapter of any book in the world, in my opinion, so I read it often. I'm not a church-goer. I have an art web site: www.harart.com, featuring how-to articles, my paintings and cartoons. |
