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:

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.

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.

Pretty In Pink
I worked on this for several years, starting in 2017 or so. It always seemed pale and a bit washed out. Then Sara suggested a contrasting border. The pink border added 2021 really pops and makes the whole painting work. As usual, the little things really count.

Market Day
24″ x 30″ mixed media. This started with a photo of 4 Jamaican women going to market in front of a yellow wall – I guess it shows you how far a painting can go. In my mind I still see the 4 beautiful women.
