I might have been torn to pieces
To the extent that I managed to translate the emotions into images that is to say, to find the images which were concealed in the emotions I was inwardly calmed and reassured. Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them….
Ashes – Hesitant to Speak
I know what I want from this painting but who knows how long it’ll take to reach the finish line. 24 x 36 on watercolor paper. This young girl is made of ashes. She’s wearing a dress made of bits and pieces of this and that. There is burlap and there…

White Tree Blue Sky
I was on a kick with trees. This is the 3rd of 4 trees first created with tea stains then colored in. What I like about this tree is the way the bare white stands off the blue back drop. I also like the gradient of red, yellow and orange…
