This is a large oil painting on canvas. I was interested in the unusual effect and patterns created by light bouncing around under water.
Made from cut paper from magazine pages, this collage is 12" x 16". Parts of it, like the table and turquoise vase in the foreground, are constructed of small pieces of colored paper, while other areas use intact images from other sources.
This is teensy, about 1/2" tall, such a surprising thing to find among the cast off iron blobs-- a perfect Snoopy chased by a perfect little ghost. I like the way Snoopy looks like he's in motion, with a few extra limbs.
This is an oil painting on linen, 9" x 12" of an approaching summer storm in Colorado.
This is an 8" x 10" oil painting on panel done in the winter from the front seat of my car.
In the dead of winter I spent some time in a very old cemetery, and I challenged myself to make something out of whatever I found there. Slate, moss, dried grass, and sticks--I put it all together and made this.
This is a 2" high sculpture made of cast off iron blobs and a little paint. Fierce!
This is a 20" x 24" oil on canvas, a self-portrait including one of the mirrors I used in painting it. Surrounding the frame of the mirror are bits of the studio; inside the mirror is reflected the windowsill and lamp and other studio stuff.
Oil on linen, this is another life-sized portrait study.
This is oil on linen, 30" x 40".
This is another little cast-off sculpture, about 1" tall. I didn't paint his eye--the coloration was part of the metal
This is another found-object sculpture made from left-over metal splattered on the ground from an iron pour. This one was a single piece left intact--I added paint to define the carrot and the white tail. It's about 3/4" tall.
This is a life-sized oil painting on linen, 48" x 60".
This is a 3" tall found object sculpture made from cast off pieces from an iron pour.
Another magazine over-painting collaged image. I combined two images, one of the reclining figure and the other of the group of onlookers. I painted over parts of both and preserved one word from the existing text.
This is an 8" x 10" oil on panel painting of a field in winter near a place I used to live.
This is a small oil on panel, 8" x 10" that I painted looking down from a hotel window on a rainy night in Seattle.
This is a large oil painting on canvas, 3' x 4' of a cloud formation in Yellowstone National Park. I liked the triangle of blue sky framed by the clouds.
This is another watercolor from the bird's nest series. I liked the sticks and feathers and leaves and bits of stuff the bird used to make its' home.
