I painted this from life yesterday... it was one of those moments when I realized I am, gradually, learning how to paint! This was completed in less than an hour... I decided not to go back and correct any flaws because I was afraid of killing the energy of the brush strokes.

20"x24" oils on Russian canvas.

"Pacifica Coast"

I painted this en plein air... while sitting on a big, uneven rock, being harassed by a hungry squirrel, getting rained upon, and being blasted by 40 mph gusts of wind. It was a good time!

Living Waters

"Living Waters" - 22"x25" oils on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Spirit and transcendence travel through spacetime

A wave upon oceans, singularly formed

Alongside many, at cross-currents with some,

We act and interact, through doldrums and storms

The cresting of our wave lasts but a lifetime,

Fleeting consciousness upon oceans neverending

Temporal and aware, so full of illusion,

Fully subject to universal laws unbending

So pure, so clear, so free,

So unaware of what it means to "be"

Let us approach truth willingly

And receive its gifts with joy.

Eating the Ashes Before Dawn

"Eating the Ashes Before Dawn" 14"x11" oils on canvas. Available.

Hole in the Sky

This new piece, a diptych, was based on an unusual and compelling visual "happening" while meditating on the shore of Canyon Lake. (It seemed as though I could see through the daylight sky into the infinity of space.)

Yes, I was sober! I don't assert any higher meaning to this, nor do I rule it out... but it was fascinating and beautiful.

Arowana: an Elegant Predator

The freshwater arowana is a primitive, solitary, and altogether odd family of fishes. This specimen is typical of the South American varieties, but they are also found in Asia, Africa, and Australia. His longevity as a species depends upon his hyper-aggression and his fearless hunting technique. Arowanas have been observed jumping more than six feet out of the water to feed on unsuspecting insects and birds (thus earning them the nickname, 'water monkeys').

Insofar as form follows function, this carnivorous river dweller is an elegant, athletic predator whose appearance makes plain who and what he is. Beautiful.

"Arowana (Anger)" 16"x20" oils, available.
