It has been in my awareness that I have not updated the blog since Madeline's death this past March. Her death had a deep impact, and I have been coming to terms with that. Part of my process was to publish a book with my photos and an original poem I wrote. This book was dedicated to Madeline. Perhaps I am now ready to get back to the here and now.

William Thompson Solo Show in New York
New York, March 2011 - PaulaBarr chelsea, is delighted to host William Thompson's first solo show in New York City. The artist will be present at the opening, on Thursday, March 24th, from 6 pm to 8 pm.
The artist, William Thompson said: "No Risk, No Reward! I have been painting and drawing for over two decades and have had numerous art shows in and around my hometown of Portland, OR. Now after many years, I have been given a generous opportunity to show my artwork in New York City. What a wonderful opportunity! The risk is great, but the rewards of my efforts will be much greater. Now knowing that my artwork has come this far, it will now go much farther.
William Thompson is a self-taught artist. William has had a solo show in Portland and was published in a Featured Editorial "A Soldier's Vision" - Oregonian, Portland. In 2008 he was a featured artist in Creative Heartworks, On-Line Gallery in Oregon. William has been a member of the US Army and Oregon Army National Guard for over twenty years. His experiences in the military have greatly affected his outlook on life and his art, which has continued to evolve since his return from Iraq in 2005. William presents "A Soldier's Vision", a painting of himself painting a picture of where he would rather be while in combat. Although there is a lot going on in the piece, he hopes that those who see the painting will draw something from the examples of life from a soldier's perspective, and that they can see the human sacrifice of war by the soldiers on both sides and by the innocent civilians caught in the cross-fire.
