Rock Tree Water

The two last pieces come together to form a whole. A place in the rock face where a new story can be told of the interplay of earth, water, and organic forms.

Abyss

A long hard fall through space. Right down through the middle and into the white space. A little like The Bridge at San Luis Rey.  The rope bridge breaks and down we go.

Trees and Water

The Indian River has Mangrove branches growing from the water in many places but surprisingly no alligators.

River Storm

The pieces are becoming dimensional. As I work pieces pop up, edges are askew, and real relief space is possible.

Landscape With Water

I have realized I like detail, and put a lot in a small space. I need to have a garage sale of all those details and simplify the images.  Simple and direct is my intention.

After The Storm

I'm pushing the process more in this rather disjointed series and soaking the paper longer.  Did I mention that I put the collage pieces together and glue them when they are wet?

Landscape With Illuminated Tree

It seems I am in transition. Walking dream-like into a bizarre and surreal place. The work can become more real than reality, or maybe it is reality. Hard to tell sometimes.

Flower Arc

Recycle

Even old flower paintings can be recycled. I went through my drawings and tore up probably 30. What you have been seeing now are the recombinations. Do you recognize the Christmas Poinsettias?

Plant Pieces

These last few mixed media pieces are my wanting to completely let go and just have the painting paint itself. Sometimes it works well. I like these chopped up bits emerging from a blanket of fog.
