New CANOPY paintings



The newest canopy paintings....each are 6" x 6" on wood. Only $200 each (they take a long time for me to paint).
They would make great gifts!

Welcome Fall New Paintings




Messing around in the studio feeling a transition paralleling the summer giving into autumn.
Taking the piles of leftover postcards is one way to "work it out," experimenting, and ultimately creating affordable pieces for those in need of art.
Till mid November some of the postcard "upcycle" pieces will be hanging at Muddy Waters coffee shop out on 61. Lisa Abernathy and Seth Corts organized the artists and art based on smaller pieces of a certain lower price point— really creating an aesthetically diverse and affordable art show. Muddy Waters is on 61, look for the mannequin and bright blue house on the left (traveling away from downtown).

petrol on the mind


Of course the oil spill in the Gulf has been on my mind. Unfortunately the helplessness to really aid in the effort to stop it is overwhelming. Perhaps if I was a brilliant engineer or scientist...but alas, I am only an artist so must use the tools available to at least express because my paintings can't plug the holes leaking oil.

The art these days has swayed from darker to lighter—between the anger and the acknowledgement of beauty of the species threatened now and in the future. (Suppose we are one of the threatened on the list!)

Things need to change but I fear our appetite is a pathological monster with no stomach stapling in sight.

So, I'll keep reading about issues and painting...AND try to be a responsible consumer.
BTW, speaking of consumption, the fish you see in these paintings are Bluefin Tuna—they were way OVERFISHED, their population numbers down 80 %, and the Gulf is 1 of the 2 major spawning waters. They are not on the endangered list, perhaps because of, again, the APPETITE, this time sushi lovers. Make a choice as a consumer to stop eating this beautiful fish!
