Soul Mates

This piece is a mixed media, acrylic and india ink. It appeared while doing the "Soul Circuitry" series. I love how these pieces start. I work from all directions, turning the canvas this way and that. Working until a vision hits me of what this painting wants to be.

Soul Circuit ll

This piece is a mixed media piece, acrylic, oil stick, inks and copper wire. It measures, 36"x18" on gallery wrap. I was a bit apprehensive to put wire onto the canvas but once i got over it it took a life of its own. It now has  three dimensional aspect that is quite nice I think.

Beginning of New Series

 30"x40", acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. "Opposing Forces".
18"x36", acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. "The Mating Dance".

These two paintings are the first in a new series as yet un named. I am so excited about these pieces as they reflect what really goes on in my mind while I paint. It has taken years of training to get that from my mind and heart to my hands and onto the canvas.
 More will be revealed and placed on canvas soon. I will post as they are developed.

monument Valley

This piece was painted at my Lowe Mill studio , downtown Huntsville, Al.. One of my great friends purchased this beauty seen upside down and from a photograph of it lying on a table. She said that she just knew it was hers! I love when a client connects so instantly and immediately with a piece. I know it was meant for her.
 I do believe it was a 30"x48", gallery wrap, acrylic on canvas. For me it was a journey in spirituality. It came with ease and I love when that happens.

 " The Loss", came at a time of grief for me and others .  As I felt this piece birthed up and out , so too did another connect to it. It found a home in a very dear friend of mines where i know it will be treasured. 30"x40" mixed media acrylic on canvas.
 My daughter turned me onto this singer Valerie June. I really Loved her music. I put her music on one night and began to paint my impression of her. I hope I captured her loveliness . 40"x30" acrylic on canvas.
This piece came about from a photo a friend sent me. It inspired this painting I call "The Path".
