On Fire
31″ x 21″ Mixed Media. Sister to Bluebird – made from the same wood. Lots of energy in this painting. Orange smoldering under a green finish…

Red Sky at Morning
49″ x 27″ diptych mixed media. This work, along with a triptych I call Copper River, came from a landscape I was struggling with. Sometimes there is no salvation for a painting gone bad – but I cut up the landscape into 5 equal slices and made a Red Sky at Morning and Copper River. This painting has…

24″ x 30″ acrylic on canvas. Early painting. Discovering freedom on canvas. You have probably guessed it started as an owl. That’s how things go sometimes…

Mirror Image Dyptich
33″ x 12″ (2 pcs) mixed media. Difficult to match a brightly colored bathroom for Maggie and Henry – ended up painting the opposite color and it worked.

Dahlia Still Life
36″ x 30″ mixed media. Playing with bottles. Poured flower petals over a well-developed background. I found out this is a pretty tricky technique! Sara helped conceive the still life look. We own a vase that was a perfect model for this.

Night Walk
73″ x 90″. I like big paintings. I’ve always wanted to paint big. My wife and I went to Chicago with some friends and I was blown away by Marc Chagall’s large pieces in The Chicago Institute. I could not get it out of my head. At the same time I really wanted to create the light box effect. This…
