Pink Candy

I painted this abstract before my most recent physical.  Because of my love for hard candy, I shouldn't be surprised that my cholesterol levels are back up in dangerous territory (243 mg/dl) and my glucose levels (99 mg/dl) are too high as well.  I guess I'll have to get my sugar fix in future looking at candy art rather than eating it.

Three Stone Flowers - A Progression


While camping at Longbow in Oregon this past summer, Charlotte Laughlin and I had fun making stone flowers.  I used a photograph of this one in my recent Mendocino workshop with Amy Melious.  Taking my original photo I converted it to B&W and printed it on Epson Fine Art paper.  It was then sealed with an acrylic polymer sealer (in this case Glamour II giclee veneer in matte) and, once that had dried, painted with some acrylic paints.  I think I might prefer the original photo to my end result.  Which do you prefer?

Mendocino Sky

Just playing around in Photoshop after the weekend workshop taught by Amy Melious in Mendocino.  Don't believe what you see.  The pelicans are from Florida.  The orange ball is a computerized 3D original.

Self Portrait with Bird Lungs

I don't smoke anymore but I feel like I do since I have bronchitis - hopefully a mild case.  My hurting lungs prompted me to create this digital self portrait using a recent oil painting of a bird in a green lung shape.  It's also raining today so I used another painting that has a blue cloud and red raindrops.  A fun way to spend a rainy, coughing day.
