Opening

This little painting became a bookcover. I love the abstract painters and wish to take my own abstractions further. This one is loose, and the photo doesn't show it's brightness. I like the line quality I achieved with a liner brush.

Tunnel To Inner Realms

Another spiral that leads into space. Once I saw actual pictures of space: nebula, pulsars, planets, and was astounded by how they looked like my paintings. I think that means I'm from Neptune. Well, honestly, we're all from somewhere right? Why not Neptune?

Small painting: Vortex and Ruby

When I paint, power sometimes looks like the wound, and then the wound becomes empowered. All is welcome and invited in the creative process. Sometimes imagery coming from the subconscious can have a frightening effect on the artist. Sometimes the artist isn't moved, but the viewer is. Either way, art is a journey unfolding in waves of power.

Acid-Free Paper: Trees in the Summer

Watery trees in sunset. A painting on paper, acrylic watered down and used straight from the tube. The acid-free paper used in this painting is fairly transparent. It warps the surface to wet it down, but flattens out nicely when dry. I originally used this paper to paint with the touch painting method. Water-based oil paints are an effective medium when rolled onto Masonite and covered with tracing paper and then drawn on with fingers.
