Dragonfly Moon SOLD

                                                                8x8 Acrylic on canvas

I'm still here and I'm still creating! The past months have been consumed with a move, visits with family, and a trip out. This is a small abstract I've been waiting to upload for some time. I've been experimenting with gel medium and modeling paste and enjoying the results. This work is quite textural and shimmery with copper and iridescent touches. Available at Arts Underground, YT.

Salmon Circles

I'm enjoying creating these small printed works. Each background is hand colored with inks and home made stencils or stamps, before being stamped over top with the black images. These are cards that measure 5.5 x 5.5 inches. No two are alike.

Gossips

Another in my series of  raven print art cards. 5.5 x 5.5 inches

Mountain Pines

Art cards:  block print design on hand colored paper. Each measures 5.5x 5.5 inches

Morning Glory at Tutshi - SOLD

                                                             12x12 Acrylic  SOLD

A painting of an amazing sunrise near where I live. The days are long and sunny now. I have to get up really early to catch the sun rising over the mountains - but it is so worth it! I swear the colors are more magnificent living in the north.

March - Catching Rays - SOLD

                                                                8x8 Acrylic SOLD

This time of year the days are brilliant with sunshine, starting from sunrise to sunset. I happened on this parked and out-of-commission service truck that just radiated early morning sunshine. It begged me to paint it out. It's not normally a subject I would go looking for but I am starting to pay attention the artistic "call". If I see a poignant subject, be it person, place or thing,  I'll paint it.

A Tidy Little Ship

                                             8x10  SOLD

This was painted at the request of a friend. I've been enjoying messing about with water in these latest paintings. There is a definite learning curve going on.

Boats for Sale

                                                                 8x8 Acrylic  SOLD

This scene is from the UK. The picturesqueness of the place caught my eye initially, but that wobbly yellow line really drew me to paint the picture. I think this could be sub-titled "Legacy of the Drunken Sailor".

Safely Grazing

                                                                     6x6 SOLD

I've had this image in my mind for such a long time. During my trips to the UK, I encountered countless sheep. In this particular instance there was a golf course near to hand, tourists roaming the land, and pictures being captured - and these sheep were unconcerned, steadily grazing. For me an image of trust and security.

Abstract: Moving Life - SOLD

                                                       8x10 Mixed media on canvas

A second "abstract". This was was an evolutionary process taking place over a stretch of time. It is also a bit of an experiment using acrylic modeling paste, text, stamped images etc.
