The Honey Tree
_JPG.jpg)
This painting is a multimedia painting using heavy acrylic over watercolor. It represents the way I saw nature work in harmony at Willow Creek Clearing. The painting also represents the abundance of life given freely by spirit. Spirit doesn't care if we go to the river with a bucket or a spoon. The painting was also inspired by what to me is the most beautiful of all wildflowers, the cardinal flower. Available. 950.00. Limited edition prints are available.

Star Rider
_JPG.jpg)
The idea came to me while staring at a blank canvas before painting to create a picture of Native Americans on horseback in a blizzard, or so it appears, but actually, are riding in the stars. Thus the name Star Riders. This painting is a watercolor painting approximately 15 by 20 inches on arches 300 lb cold press. Available. 550.00 framed and matted. Limited edition prints available .

Star Riders-Painting 2
_JPG.jpg)
"Star Riders-Painting 2" is a continuation of the idea I had for "Star Riders". I used heavy acrylic over the watercolor in this painting giving it a much heavier texture and more solid feeling than the much more fluid watercolor painting of "Star Riders". It is smaller than star Rider and is 10 1/2 by 13 1/2 inches. I liked the hot pink against the dark backdrop. Sold
Winter Moon

Spring
"Spring" Acrylic. 48 in x 60 in. One of my larger works. I painted this in the spring of 2018, starting it after a walk in the woods and seeing so many beautiful spring flowers. This was a time-consuming painting because of the heavy acrylic and multi-layered technique I used. Sold.
Window Loneliness
_JPG.jpg)
Having lived in some of Asia's largest cities, I was always amazed how at times I could feel lonely in an ocean of people. This painting is one, of a series of four paintings, called "Window Lonlyness" based on the feelings I got when alone, thousands of miles from friends, family, and home, staring out the window panes in a big city watching others with friends and loved ones as they lived their lives. The neon lights would light the sky above a sea of blue shadows below. Painting 1 is mixed media using watercolor, acrylic and acrylic, and watercolor pens and is approximately 10 1/4 by 16 inches.
The Heavenly Scent of Carbon Lilies on Venus
I wanted to experiment with using mica and Hydrus paint allowing the paint to run into the Mica. It was hard to control and hard to work with, but the color's results are striking. 24 x 36 inch Arches cold press 300 lb paper. I named this experimental abstract "The Heavenly Scent of Carbon Lilies Floating on Venus." Painted May 4, 2018.
Sold. Available in limited edition print only.
Copper Forest
.jpg)
"Copper Forest", was created using Mica, Watercolor, and Acrylic. I allowed the watercolor to run into the mica and both run over the already dry acrylic. The painting represents the magic of a forest and the forest healing properties, much the same way that copper heals us. Look close and you will see a nature angel disguised as a tree. 24 inch by 48-inch canvas. Painted December 8, 2019. Available 1500.00. Limited edition prints are available.
FIRST FROST
The first hard frost always ends the life cycle of many plants and insect beings and marks the beginning of a new cycle to follow. I always try to go talk with the plants I have worked with, especially in my garden the few hours before the frost before they cross over. I spend time with them and thank them for their service and beauty. this painting represents the moment the frost comes to a prairie. This passing of energy is almost always at night, at least in the midwest. Acrylic on 24 by 48- in canvas. painted December 1, 2018. Available 1500.00. Limited edition prints are available.

Prairie Storm
Some of the people who follow my work have told me they dislike this painting. "Too dark", muddy, "gloomy" have all been used to describe this painting. Others I have told me they think it is beautiful. The painting shows what a severe midwest storm looks while standing in a prairie. A sight I know well from my years of tallgrass prairie restoration work. it represents the void, the in-between place we all find ourselves when one thing has ended and the new has not yet shown itself. It is a time often of loneliness, tiredness, confusion, as part of us is dying while a new part is being born. I felt all of this as I painted it. Prairie Storm is a breakthrough painting for me in that halfway through it I sat down my brush and began to paint with my hands. The sky is completely painted by hand and much of the prairie is. Acrylic 30 x 40 inch canvas. Painted on 12/19/2019. Available. 1500.00. Limited edition prints are available.
