I am not sure what to say about this one. The movement of feathers and fingers always capture my attention. I have been incorporating many birds into my paintings in the last year. I am fascinated by flight not only from the physical mechanics of it but also the symbolic meanings in mythology.

Here I am experimenting with reddish browns reminiscent of sepia tones in photos.  Warmer than some of the black and white paintings that I have posted on my website.
I will be experimenting more with black and white in smaller paintings.

"Tree Spirit"


Tree Spirit
7.5" x 5.5"
acrylic & marble plaster on paper
$150
$6 shipping in US

To me trees all have their own personalities. I like to talk to trees...and listen. I recently finished an audio book called "The Wild Trees: a story of passion and daring" (non-fiction) by Richard Preston. It made me want to become an explorer in the canopies of the trees. It was a wonderful book.

Little Red Wagon


Something has always intrigued me about Little Red wagons. Maybe it is because they afford a kind of independence of mobility to the young. This one is not presently for sale.
