Summit in the Sky

Summit in the Sky

This painting was inspired by the troubling events in our country. I  requested nominations from many asking them who they would invite to this table. The result is quite the assortment.  The life and messages of this group of wise people could give us some clarity and direction.  Perhaps.

Mood Journal

This handmade, decorated pages, colorful book is created as a journal, drawing, and/or poem book under the assumption that blank pages are “frightening” to create on. They are for me at least and maybe for others.

This was painted onsite using water- based oil paints which I love to use outdoors because they do not dry so fast.

I like to leave this image open to interpretation and maybe even a discussion starter.
