Green Traveler or Silver Back (India Ink 11 x 14) available
We say turtles and tortoises, carry their homes on their backs. In this case, the home is a travel trailer. Don’t ask me why he decided to take on a tree as a passenger, it was just meant to be. I think they are very happy together and headed for adventures.

Bird Brain (India Ink 14 x 16) available
I have a very visual mind. When someone says “bird brain,” I’m apt to see something like this. But I particularly liked this visual pun, because it hints at the intelligence of birds, which is often as great or greater than mammals with similar lifestyles. Ironically, owls are not particularly bright birds, but crows, hawks, and ravens are.

Urban Chimera (India Ink 19 x 16) Available.
I think of this as a chimera, but given all of the city equipment, I guess he’s a little bit of a cyborg too.

The Raven Tree (2 x 21 archival pen) Available
When I look at pines I often see things in the branches the way other people see things in the clouds. From there to a tree of ravens wasn’t much of a stretch.
Fine art prints are available. I’ve also digital manipulated the tree so as to place it on a couple different backgrounds for printing. Those images can be seen and purchased here.“>here .

Birth of Venus One (18 x 24 watercolor) Available
Birth of Venus Two, (18 x 24 watercolor) Available
Botticelli’s Birth of Venus is stunning, but it never captured the delivery part of birth for me. Botticelli’s Venus is serene. She is arriving at the shore, the messy birth process long behind her. My Venuses are actually in the process of emerging from the sea foam.

Perhaps Persephone (watercolor 16 x 22) SOLD
Initially, this painting was inspired by a bird’s nest left over from last Spring. Looking at the nest, the woman with bird’s nest hair and the whitewater dress rising from the ground just came to me. She became Persephone as painted her. Now she is drowsily sinking back into the earth before her return to Hades and the Underworld. She’ll be back in the Spring.

Paint Tube Hill (16 x 22 watercolor) Available
Realistic paintings are representations of three dimensional space on a two dimensional surface. This painting plays with that concept by depicting three dimensional objects like paint tubes and brushes resting on a two dimensional painting. But of course the tubes and brushes are also two dimensional representations of three dimensional space.
