Mid-Town-SOLD
This piece is a rework of an abstract that was juried into the Rockies West National Watermedia Show a couple of years ago. I had used its frame for another piece, and so this piece of painted yupo was hanging around my studio. I took another look at it and decided to cut it down […]
Finish That Thought SOLD
Here is a re-working of an abstract on yupo. I just realized that it wasn’t resolved. I keep on asking “How can I make it better?”; “How can I use more pleasingly meaningful shapes?”; “How do I make the image more beautiful?”. I tried to answer those questions in action to the best of my […]
Glorious Garfield SOLD
Once again I have depicted good ol’ Mount Garfield in a collage. I decided to do a horizontal orientation this time because Garfield is really a horizontal silhouette as it stands at the end of the ridge of the Little Bookcliffs overlooking the Grand Valley. I decided to use stripes (many zebras)as a motif with […]

Adobe Dawn SOLD
I have had this piece hanging around my studio for a long time waiting to be finished. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted it to be a collage or a watermedia painting. Well this week I decided to finish it in watermedia. I tore off all the collage pieces that weren’t painted paper and really […]
Doppelganger
I decided to return to one of my favorite ways of doing art: abstract design on yupo paper using liquid acrylics. This piece began as a demonstration of a colorful substrate in my “Adventures in Mixed Media Class” at the Art Center. I brought it home and painted it as another in my series of […]
Lady Tiles-SOLD
This small piece was done for a class project to demonstrate grid composition. I used Photoshop to manipulate copies of a watercolor painting I had done in a life drawing session. I then cut out the images and applied them to a cradled board. I was planning on adding more collage material and/or paint, but […]
Sketchbook Project
Here are three pages from the sketchbook that I completed for the 2012 Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project. All sketchbooks sent to the ArtHouse Co-op in Brooklyn, New York will go on a world-wide tour in 2012 and then will be permanently archived. I loved doing this project. I picked the theme “A Walk through […]
