For the past several years I have returned to my first love as a daily painter of mostly smaller oil paintings and have been selling them on line in my gallery. My work is mostly still lives, figurative and landscapes.
I was recently selected as the featured Spotlight Artist on Daily PaintWorks Art Gallery.
I have taken workshops with:
Colley Whisson, Brisbane, Australia artist
Carol Marine, Coppini, San Antonio, TX
Rene' Wiley, Galveston TX
Carlos Landa, Lone Star College- Montgomery Center
Perry House, Glassell Museum of Fine Arts School (Houston)
Private collections of my paintings may be found throughout the USA and the Virgin Islands.
“I don't know anyone who actually likes the dark or night-time. I don't care how much they say it doesn't bother them. That's why we used to huddle in caves and light fires when the sun went down." — Paul Kane
One of the four elements, fire has played a key role in our lives since the beginning of time. It can arise from the coldest and blackest matter. Fire defies gravity and is the force that cleanses —like gold in a furnace—burning away what is no longer needed.
In his book, The Four Elements, John O'Donohue writes, "The fire was dancing. It was full of all kinds of liquid fire shapes. The fire is transfiguration. Here matter changes into nothingness. The fire is the place where form is sacrificed to breath."
Fire brings light and warmth when it's in a fireplace. "Its energy, color and shape are a narrative in themselves that unfurls side by side with the flow of your own consciousness."
This very large 5x3 ft. painting ignited in the hearth of my own heart. I actually painted it awhile back but know that the transforming fire has never rested as it continuously blasts away at the dark corners of my mind and soul.
Words, mere horizontal routes that deadend, like the last stop
along a bus line. Words that transport us but to a screeching
halt never arriving at the sacred, silent-domain of heart.
My digs
into the
opposing
vertical-realm
of polarities,
are tunnels of
mind shafts
that gasp along
from
air pocket to
air pocket
into
dark expanses
of subterranean
landscapes where,
we all gather to drink at the well.
