Off to a new home!

Harvest Moon, Hurricane Ridge. September 11, 2011

I am very pleased and honored that this painting was purchased in the spirit of a tribute to a longstanding, loving relationship that even sudden death could not destroy.

New Work May 2012

Contemplation     16 x 20 acrylic on canvas
Didn't know a "Super Moon" was coming but woke up one morning  with the idea of cows  leaping playfully through the night sky and across a big golden full moon.  After sketching it all out I went right to the canvas and this is what happened:  "Contemplation."  Maybe a more energetic version with mad and/or blissful cows flying through space is next.  The Pacific Northwest sky is full of surprises, especially in Kitsap country.

Who?


A fluffy but stern owl clutches its perch  and surveys the landscape.

Moving On


With an open heart

9/11/11 Hurricane Ridge

This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

Solitude of living in the country, out of touch with friends and neighbors for days on end, working alone and loving it in my studio--then suddenly the needs of the co-op gallery demand I change my ragged jeans for better ones, fix my hair and dash out to the car. Plunging up and down twisty back roads I feel like Major Tom deciding to come home after all. Human connections are a thing of joy.
