New this week

 "Stand in your Greatness", new style and series. 20"x20", acrylic on gallery wrap. This new series of paintings comes from a place deep within where no thought exists. Only creation . It feels like I'm tapping into the greater creative cloud out there where all creative thought is born. Im running a crazy special on this painting in celebration of festival season. Now through June 27 th , this Athens show, this painting normally $200 will go for $ 75!…… yes you heard me right! so message me if you'd like to own this original.

"Seattle Night Skyline". 10"x20" framed in a custom built frame. Jim True does all my frames to match the feel of the painting. Again, normally this painting would go for $90, is going for the festival price of $45!!!! Folks thats an original with a custom frame! Whoooooo hoooooo!
This painting features the Seattle skyline with the Northern Lights above., acrylic on canvas. After the festival , prices will go back to their regular price. I'm practically giving these away . But i want to because times are tough out there and I believe people should have original art on their walls that they love.

New Work

 This first painting in the group measures 24"x30" and is titled,"The Wedding". On the left side the bride awaits her soul mate. She is holding flowers. On the right side the groom awaits his soul mate, he is wearing a crown. There are other souls gathered to witness the ceremony about to be performed.

 This piece belongs to the Cog series and is called," Cog Recognition". The moment of truth when the Cogs accidentally see their reflection in a pond and realize they are LIGHT! All this time they labour day an night, thinking life is full of work and drudgery. But now they know that they embody all that is beautiful. This Piece measures 20"x20"

 Another of the Cog Series paintings and the last. "Cog Home". Measures 20"x20"

Lastly in the grouping is , "Follow your Dreams". A textured play on The Wizard of OZ. This piece has sold. It Measures 10"x20".

Through the Forrest

20"x24" acrylic on gallery wrap. 

This piece is all knife work.  I used knives of various size to get the desired effect both in the trees and in the background. I've always gotten great pleasure form the use of knives on canvas.  The sound of the knife on the canvas and the way the roll of paint on the edge of the knife scrapes across the the subject. I especially enjoy working with many colors on one subject to get that marbled and striated appearance that only comes from the knife.

New Contemporary Work

 After the Rain, 48"x48", gallery wrap, acrylic on canvas. I love that the deer appeared in this painting. It was a lovely landscape painting and then whoop! there they were! Zoom in to get a close look.

Sunrise Man, 12"x12", gallery wrap, acrylic on canvas. I love the sun worshipper in the background there! Zoom in for a closer look.

New Surrealism and Contemporary art

Birds on a Reed

36"x48" , mostly hand work on this one with very very little brushwork.

Acrylic on canvas.

unnamed

48"x36", acrylic on canvas. Again we find a another large contemporary piece done almost exclusively using my God given tools, i.e... fingers and palms! There are some stars and other markings scratched into the sky and greens using the end of my brush. This painting was an excersise in just painting purely what i feel with no hint toward structure.

Copper Moon

48"x60", mixed media on canvas.

Textured canvas with many layers on it.  I went through the creative process to that pure place inside thats exists to that conduit from the power flowing in from beyond. Materials include good quality stretched canvas, molding paste and marking. dry time , then a thin layer of latex paint followed by charcoal, acrylics, inks and oil stick. 

The Moment of Recognition

The newest of the series from the Cog world, This 24"x24"x1 1/2" gallery wrapped, acrylic painted canvas , is just off the easel. These two traveling Cogs have had a moment of epiphany it would seem. as they see themselves reflected back in this puddle. What do they see, where are they going, where have they been? So many questions …….
