This is from a one second view as I was driving down Denny past the Science Center.  The image of this young man was burned into me. My mind, my soul?  Maybe both, my mind so that I could paint him and my soul so that I could feel the pain.   Right now his title is "Carrying the Pain".

More Expression, Less Control

 Welcome to my new website and blog! I'm excited to share my art and creative process. That includes the scary notion of communicating with you through writing.  I am not even sure how to use my blog yet, so hopefully it will get more interesting as time progresses.  It is great to be able to get my art out there as I create it. 

I am interested in sharing some of the reasons behind my new series of artwork.  I have started off with a more expressive trend and moved away from my series of mixed media work of Koi Fish and Heron. The painting called The Face, which is above (6 ½ ft by 5 ft.) is the first in my new series.
