Drawing of Sadhguru

I will be in India for three weeks and will resume posting when I return.

Dragon

This is about 4" long, a nice little fire-breathing dragon.

Plastic Fork, Knife, & Spoon Book

This grew out of a class assignment. We were required to make something out of plastic cutlery, so I rewrote the nursery rhyme about the cow jumping over the moon and made a pop-up book

Spit

Another collage from magazine images, it is hard to see but after obscuring all existing words with paint, just one word remained, right above the central figure: Spit.

Maze

Another collaged magazine image, I superimposed the figures over the maze and painted some areas of the photographs to put them together. It reminds me of the chess game in Alice in Wonderland.

John's Fish

This is about 3" long, a crazy colorful iron-scrap fish, all made from one piece of metal.

Portrait of Jackie

This is a life-sized oil on linen, a portrait of the eldest of a family of five. I painted each child when they reached the age of seven. This sitting was on a beautiful stretch of beach in Florida. The boy and his mom and I searched for the perfect location, making our way around no trespassing signs and turtle nesting areas before finding the right spot.

Bird's Nest III

Watercolor, 12" x 12", another in a series of nests.

Pool

This is 4' x 6', oil on canvas. I wanted it to be big so that it would feel as if you were under water while viewing it.

Swimming

This is a large oil painting on canvas. I was interested in the unusual effect and patterns created by light bouncing around under water.

Catholic Collage

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.

Snoopy and the Ghost

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.

Colorado Landscape

This is an oil painting on linen, 9" x 12" of an approaching summer storm in Colorado.

Three Trees

This is an 8" x 10" oil painting on panel done in the winter from the front seat of my car.

Debbie's Gift

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.

The Eel Who Swallowed a Fish

This is about 5" long, made of found cast-off iron and paint. The shape of the painted fish inside the eel was actually an area that was already raised up on the metal piece. I simply outlined it with paint.

Joan of Arc

This is a 2" high sculpture made of cast off iron blobs and a little paint. Fierce!

Waiter

This is a large oil on canvas, 4' x 5', of a waiter I saw taking a break on a cruise ship's lower deck.
