Drama Queen SOLD
This watermedia abstract on yupo paper began as a multi-colored first layer of collaged painted tissue papers. It was vibrant but unresolved and stayed that way for many months. I was prompted to complete it so I could enter into the 2013 Rocky Mountain Watermedia Show juried by one of my favorite art teachers, Skip […]
Bahamas Bird
I did this piece when we were on the island of Eleuthera in February using a local newspaper, tourist advertisements and other whatnot that I had brought along. It is postcard-size, measuring 4 inches x 6 inches. I plan to enter it into the National Collage Society’s annual postcard show this summer. This piece won […]
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 […]

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 […]
