Time Is A River
mixed watermedia on Yupo paper 23″ x 20″ $1500.00 I discovered a new process with this abstract, purely by accident. I began working on a demonstration piece of random collage application for a first layer. I scraped and sanded a lot of the collaged paper away and kept on working the surface with liquid acrylic […]

Mixed Media Collage with Watermedia 36″ x 26″ Matted and Framed For Sale: $1200.00 This large watermedia painting was done on yupo paper.

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 […]
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 […]
Come Into Our Cave SOLD
Here is another version of my cave concept. I tried to use all the watermedia tricks in my tool basket to make the images look both old and new, on purpose and accidental, thoughtful and frivolous, tribal and modern. It is an enigma for sure…but pleasing enough. This piece is 18 inches wide by 20 […]
Three Martini Lunch – NFS
This painting started out as a response to a challenge posed by this year’s program for the Rocky Mountain Collage Society. We were asked to bring a black and white collage to our November meeting. I collaged a random selection of black and white collage pieces onto a piece of yupo. I then began to […]
Ghosts of Africa
This is my watermedia version of Stopping Traffic (see collages). It love embellishing these mystical figures. This painting was juried into the Western Colorado Watercolor Society Show in 2009 where it won a merchandise award. It is currently at Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado where it was juried into the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia […]
Mountains, Mesas and So On-SOLD
This is one of my “layered landscapes” which I built on top of a collaged piece of yupo. I had no reference for this. It is completely made up. I live in the land of mountains and mesas in Colorado, so I guess it just happens by environmental osmosis. This piece belongs to a collector.
