Livin’ A Dream
Dreams Do Come True.
I enjoyed a 30+year career as a Physical Education Teacher and Coach.
Throughout my career I produced championship teams and star athletes & students.
I have hung up my whistle and stopped timing the races.
I thought I would write but decided to paint.
Who would have thought… (Ralph)
I call myself a Bureaucracy Survivor!!!
I have new dreams that I now put on canvas.
In regards to my paintings…
I haven’t quite figured it out.
What am I actually doing?
I don’t know!
But I like it and it feels good!!
With today’s ecological awareness in mind and my own contribution in trying to “save the planet”,
I create one of a kind “Island Dreams” using various types of fabrics (canvas, flannel, cotton, terrycloth, etc.)
All are stretched around handcrafted wood frames
(Many of which come from sliced wine boxes).
I have recently begun to use old vinyl albums as my canvas. There are no limits to the size and shape of my artwork.
I’ll paint on anything!!
Aloha to my “Island Dreams”,
K J Gordon
All paintings are original and ready for sale.

Mahalo & enjoy
