Hmm…I’m in the mood to talk art tonight. How about a two for one special? For “Little Paper Mountain”, we have an 11 x 14 still life of a simple geometric form on a flat plain with mountains in the distance. It is all in grayscale. The geometric form is in fact a sheet of …
If one bird is not enough, we can have two and call it a couple. For “Bird Couple”, we have a 12-inch square canvas with two birds sitting happily together on a stick, enjoying a lovely good time together. The technique used to portrait the birds…get this…was to look at an image in a calendar! …
This is a bird. This is a portrait of Icarus, my pet cockatiel, when she was under a year old. I obtained Icarus in the summer of 2015. Her precise birth date is unknown, but is believed to be roughly Christmas of 2014 or six months before I obtained her. I painted Young Icarus in …
I’ll admit it. I cannot hide it. I have an absolute obsession with stars and star-shaped items. You can’t miss it if you hang around me for any length of time. I apologize… So, as one could imagine, star-shaped gift boxes catch my interest when I find them at art stores. I buy a set …

Still here? I know, my previous post went into some deep realms. Thankfully, most of my art is just good looking and nice and not nearly so dark, even if it is symbolic in some fun way. Take this fruity painting of mine titled “Elsa’s Apple”. I painted it several years back–yes, when we were …
Happy Good Friday. I thought it fitting for today to dig up one of my older abstract paintings. I believe I painted this one about four years ago, it was during a fun art session with Olga when we had the old studio in what I like to call the “Quonset Hut” building. Back in …
Happy Tuesday. Okay, I think I’ve left you all waiting long enough for the first of my artwork 🙂 Here is “Train of Thought Crossing the Imagination”, a recent 11 x 14 acrylic abstract I painted recently with almost record speed–we declared it a finished success only about halfway through a Sunday afternoon art session. …
Okay, so I have fooled around with WordPress for the better part of like a week, and anyone who has found my last post might guess I love art. Yes, I love art. Do I have an art collection? Yes, but you haven’t seen it yet. What you have seen is one of my favorite …
