Beverly Hills ArtShow  May 18& 19th.    

Faery Forest was painted after visiting a private faery forest on one of the San Juan Islands. The forest path was decked with offerings to the faery's from small trinkets to jewelry, and everything in between. 

The forest path was wonderful and magical, I believe the faeries must have approved.

Starry Night is part of the the portal series I've been working on. This one implies a vast sky, over an expanse of water... or over city lights,....or possibly a mountain range and city beneath....so many interpretations, all depends  on the viewer....

                   Wild Flowers Cut     48x30"    Dripped, Splattered, Thrown, DryBrush      2024


Beverly Hills ArtShow May 2024

Wild Flowers Cut , was built up from an over thrown painting. A painting that has gotten too thick with paint to throw accurately on to its surface. I play with these overthrows, sometimes to the point of losing the painting altogether. In this case however, I ended up with a stand alone painting, with an abundance of color and texture. I'm quite happy with this one.
