Cave Painting I ,Lascaux, France

After a long hiatus, I am back and I am persuing different avenues in search of inspiration. I have always loved cave paintings. I love the ochres and the primitive images with forms that seem almost contemporary.

Doors, Totems and Indian Blankets (24x36 Oil in canvas)

I recently watched a program about Mark Rothko, whose work has always been unfathomable to me. I decided to give it a whirl. Originally, this piece was painted with the purple at the bottom and with just three blocks of color. I used some of my favorite "southwestern" colors for the palette, but still found it "unfathomable". I just did not like it, because to me it seemed like furniture. I added lots of imagery and turned it on it's side and I like it much better now.

"I love to singa..." 8x10 Oil on linen board

I wonder if anyone remembers this cartoon? I was a cartoon watching fiend when I was a child and this was old even back then. It is about a family of owls. The mother owl is teaching her little owlettes to sing and play classical music, but this little guy wanted to sing jazz. The rest of the family was horrified and the little owl kept getting into trouble and ran away from home. He eventually got on the radio and sang his little ditty, "I want to singa... about the moona and the juna and the springa....." His family missed him back at home and were so excited to hear him that they started to dance to his song. This silly cartoon really resonates with me and it was fun to paint. $100+s/h SOLD

Golden Apples

I painted this to give as a gift to a couple who are my dear relatives on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Sold.

Untitled 30x40 Oil on canvas

This is a scene from near Moira and Angel Fire New Mexico. It came together rather quickly and I signed it and am going to declare it done before I overwork it. The photo from which I painted it had barbed wire stretching diagonally across the upper left corner and another that was so close to the horizon line that it did not read well. So, under pressure from peers and others, I am done. I don't know what the plant is in the foreground, but it has been the subject of much discussion.

Sylvia's Red Lead Sinkers(24x30) Oil on Canvas

I painted this sometime ago and it has been hanging in my house. I thought it was too dark so I added lemon yellow in the background and I think it makes the tulips pop. I also lightened the leaves for the same reason. I had in mind Sylvia Plath's poem, "Tulips", when I painted it. It is one of my favorite poems. I decided to forego the sterile hospital setting.
