Art, Prices, Purchasing
Re-settled in Oregon, I’m once again accepting commissions for custom projects; paintings, illustration, fabric design coordinating themes and colors. Specializing in large formats, many subjects and styles.
Most pieces shown on this Art, Prices, Purchasing page have links to their original blog postings. The comments section has been switched off indefinitely on the blog and the other websites, unfortunately due to spam; with so many files, the anti-spam programs slow down viewing.

Paper Places
Home is where the heart is.
The Paper Places series portray landscapes across the U.S., Canada, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica and Singapore. Styles are deliberately varied to impart the unique nature of different locations.
During 2002 we changed residence to Texas from Canada. Moving to a new country offered the opportunity to fresh-start my career in new directions. Nine years later, extensive travel these past few years and a move to Oregon finds me re-orienting once more, reestablishing home and business. Works on paper are much more convenient than doing the large paintings I’m accustomed to, so I expect to be adding a lot to the Paper Places series the next year or so (2012-13). At the personal level, every piece in this series celebrates an appreciation for the places I’ve been fortunate to visit or live. Home is certainly where the heart is.
The series also inspired the following poem:
It remains
When things are gone
and people
passed and roads
and paths and places
we belong
to the essence.
In this series there are oil pastels, dry pastels, graphite, and watercolors pieces. Sizes vary, and are so listed. The 11 x 14 inches Oil Pastels on paper are framed in 22 x 26 inch custom made white wood frames. Unless the other kinds of artwork in this series command darker frames, since they are intended to hang closely together in limited gallery spaces and still be appreciated individually, most have white frames too.
Using oil pastels in particular feels like I’m sculpting, when the colors are layered then scratched away using pottery tools, fingernails, or whatever else works. Surfaces are built up, removed and rebuilt again; a process typical of all my work no matter what the medium. Pure bits of color showing through the layers emphasize textures and liveliness.

Childhood
when curiosity reigns
and happiness is a given.
With this series I hoped to refresh the discipline that drawing commands, and portraits are the perfect challenge for that. The negative spaces are as important to the composition as the subjects themselves, and the eraser is used as a tool as much as the graphite.
