Here is a cropped image of a mixed media painting in my leather bound journal. I bought the journal at Crystal Rock, a local metaphysical store - one of my “happy places” in town. I didn’t initially have a clear purpose for…(click to read more) instagram.com/p/DGLack6xMA0/…

I’ll be completing this mixed media painting today. For now, it’s looking a bit tighter than I intended. Sometimes you simply have to go wherever the work leads! But we’ll see. I have a few ideas up my sleeve. instagram.com/p/DGOGNhnRU4g/…

Changing a painting’s orientation can be a delightful experiment. “Fusion”, an oil on canvas painting, is now back in my inventory. The first image shows how the exhibiting gallery had it displayed. The second image shows… (click to read more) instagram.com/p/DGQ-DxXSClM/…

A Look Back at an Older Painting ~ “Indian Summer” is an oil painting from my Vintage Series of 2006-2007. I still lived in the British Virgin Islands then and made regular visits to south Florida where we owned property. It was… (click to read on) instagram.com/p/DGTWC8yxtFU/…

While simultaneously working on other projects, I’ve made more progress on this little mixed media piece, although it’s not yet finished. I went heavier with oil pastels. As for the paper’s somewhat curled surface (if you’ve ever used… (click to read on) instagram.com/p/DGVbawxxO03/…

Earlier this week, I shared a painting hung two different ways - landscape and portrait. So, I thought I’d try it with another painting. Swipe to see the original orientation. Which do you prefer? “Protection”, in oil on canvas, is now…(click to read on) instagram.com/p/DGYN7I8RE5a/…

I have an ongoing series of works on reclaimed or found wood. Each work is biomorphic, raw, loose, playful, and a bit mystical. instagram.com/p/DGblOODyFcw/…

I enjoy creating contrast and luminosity in my work, as noted here. This is a small area of a painting I’ve been working on between other projects. instagram.com/p/DGfuCyzx8tF/…

My studio faces west. This time of year on sunny afternoons, the light pours into the space, creating a hazy glow. It’s almost blinding but it’s lovely. instagram.com/p/DGjGr3QSrkX/…

The two paintings here, “Open Cluster” and “Rite of Passage” are oil on stretched canvas. I think they go together nicely, both aesthetically and thematically. The one on the left, “Open Cluster”, was part of a local juried exhibit...(click to read on) instagram.com/p/DGdspn2xUL8/…

Here are two oil on canvas works showing off their colorful sides. I’ve been painting the sides of my paintings since art school. One professor recommended using grey. She said it made the work look more polished and professional. (Click to read more): instagram.com/p/DGn6X7GRKqx/…

Also… At the end of January, I decided to do an experiment: I would post on Instagram every day during the month of February. Well, I did it! The reasons for the experiment were… (click to read more) instagram.com/p/DGn6X7GRKqx/…

Regardless of how you voted for the US Presidency, I don’t see how it serves you to root for his failure. There have been times the person I voted for didn’t win, but then you get behind the winner in hopes it will benefit us as a nation. I’m never going to root against the

Current desk situation with a painting on found wood ~ Lately, I’ve been working in blues and greens accented with brown and occasionally white. instagram.com/p/DG6lWi_SYFs/…

This is a cropped image of a commission study from way back. (See a recent Instagram post featuring two commission studies including this one.) As I’ve mentioned before, I like to get inspired by my own work, whether it’s older or... (click to read on) instagram.com/p/DHGo6wxxbv0/…

“Rustic” (details), 2005, oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches ~ I made this painting 20 years ago. It’s part of my Windows Series based on Caribbean doors, windows, and other openings - portals, if you will. The painting hangs in my father’s home. instagram.com/p/DHhPGQnS74G/…
