Aging Well - Framed
This painting was created to depict the progression of a growing grape vineyard. The artist took photographs of the dormant vineyard and skies in the early spring before any growth had begun. The memory of the vines when they are green and full of growth inspired the rest of the painting.
Kickin' It - Framed
Kickin' It - Professional Print, Archival ink and paperstock Pen and Ink with heavy use of pointillism creating texture and shadows in the piece. The artist took photos of soccer balls and young people kicking them at the Greenwood Freedom Park. Some internet reference photos were used. Completed in January 2025.
Mending Treasures - Framed
The inspiration for this piece was an old quilt handed down through a couple of generations and used by all the babies in the family. The teddy bear was a treasure of the artists children and the oil lamp was also handed down from family. It is always a practice of the artist to mend the things that tear -- to at least try. The artist set up a still life setting of all the subjects and photographed the setting for painting.
Blue Heron
The heron is a favorite of mine. I have a friend who photographs them beautifully and kindly gives permission to me to use as subjects. This one is very stylized and yet feels very natural.
