Jade Cove
I painted this oil after spending a few winter days looking for Jade on theCalifornia coast below Big Sur. Forty foot waves rolled like thunder on the narrow rocky shore below the steep and wet cliffs.
Embrace
A bright presence lights the top of a crystalline mountain becoming waterfalls. As all we are becomes All there is.
Lake View
Resting on a green terrace in the shade of a large tree, above a quiet lake. The rock formations are crystalline, painted with cadmium reds and magentas. It is a secluded place that I envision and where wish to be, a place of peace and beauty. It is painted on a French Polyester canvas stretched over a mahogany panel and measures 40 x 30 inches. The brush work is invisible.
The Aviary
This is undoubtedly the most complex of my work. Painted on French polyester canvas stretched over a mahogany panel, it measures 40 x 30 inches. It is a self portrait of my consciousness, where my face fits perfectly within the shape of a crystal, where my neck is the trunk of a tree, my hair its foliage and my face the inside of a room. These superimposed layers required much sketching and five to six months of work, where the brushwork aims to be invisible. I painted what I see and feel.

A Secret Place
A secret place This painting started as “a grisaille’, the grey undercoat painters often apply prior to introducing colors. But I like it so much in black and white that I kept it this way. I am often drawn by beautiful places in nature that are isolated with a magnificent view. Here, I imagine myself sitting in the shade of the tall tree on the rocky terrace. Softly blended, this piece has a unique appeal, personal and poetic with a waterfall and a lake in the background. This oil painting on canvas stretched over a birch panel measures 24 x 30 inch and is framed by a moulding that recalls the grey landscape.
