Indecision

Sometimes making a decision involves some rough feelings and diversion. Others may understand surface feelings, without knowing what’s going on below the surface.

Taking Off

Cold Wax & Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20”

 

Taking Off

You’re taking off alone.

Young and tall and strong;

The sun is at your back.

So much to see,

So much to learn,

Much to feel on your trek.

 

The road can be rough

Things can box you in.

Regardless how long you’re gone;

Or where you’ve been,

There is always a “Welcome” waiting

Whenever you come in.

Mountain Fog

24” x 36” cold wax & oil on wood panel

 

This is one of my favorites. Cold wax and oil is unique to work with and dries beautifully. One of the oldest methods of painting, the pieces from history are wonderfully preserved because of the denseness of the wax. The subtlety of color like the mist of a fog shades the sky and mountains.

Feeling Spring

Spring is bright, light and colorful with fluffy clouds warming skies.

Visiting New Mexico I was impressed with the expanse of open spaces, the warm and beautiful colors that wrapped the mountains and the plains. Arriving home, I had to paint the vision that stayed with me.

The Taste of a Creamsicle

12” x 20” cold wax & oil on wood panel

 

This was painted with a lot of energy and curiosity - what’s underneath? Rich reds, oranges and indian yellow with creamy white - all those flavors chilled to perfection in a light confectionary.

 

Can you feel the chill, or do you see that life has seasons, and is constantly renewing itself. The snow will melt, the trees will blossom, and the stream will renew.
