My 3 Friends
25″ x 52″ triptych. Mixed media. Ever had a job that was killing you? I did. While working there I was so uninspired I did not paint for 2 1/2 years. Then I quit during one particularly awful meeting, went home, got a hug from my wife, and painted My 3 Friends. Therapy painting. Love it! Been painting ever since! NEVER stay…

The Muses
37″ x 49″ Mixed Media. I worked and worked on this one. Difficult to get the feel of muses out dancing in the meadow after dark. They dance in my dreams on special nights and good things happen.

Under the Sea
18″ x 79″ Diptych. Mixed media. Ocean secrets. Mirrors on the sea foam. Made from our old doors to the dining room in our Vista house. I had a lot of fun with this one. It works pretty well as a banner. See the details below:

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…

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…

Owl Gone
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. The contrast in colors along with the embedded mirrors really pop in a tight space. We hung them on either side of a large mirror. Embrace the space!

Lorikeets
14″ x 23″ (or 23″ x 14″)!! Mixed Media. This is one of my first attempts at taking the skills I developed on larger paintings and applying them to smaller works. The double framing helps a lot – both in accents coloring (like matting) and painting integrity. This color combination really worked, and I gifted it to an Italian…
