Ladies In Waiting SOLD
These four 6″x9″ canvas panels were done for the annual miniature show at The Blue Pig Gallery in Palisade. I did ink-jet transfers of prints of one of my watercolor figures and added collage elements to them. They are all sitting in front of windows…waiting.
Home In the Rock SOLD
I did this piece as an entry into the Colorado National Monument Association art show in November 2013. The bottom layer is rows of small paint chip samples. I wanted to build the rocks on that vertical structure. Very little of the original collage is visible (except for the rectangles peeking through in the sky […]
They Call it Civilization NFS

The Possibility of Birds – SOLD
This is a rework of an old piece. In the process of stripping off the offending art of a former effort, I realized I was making the most wonderful textures. I left a lot of the tear off and worked tree trunks on top. I then added foliage, again, leaving a lot of the torn […]
