  • My Art Story
Picture
Eye of the Storm, oil, 24x40, w/ floater frame rough barn board.
"Eye of the Storm" evolved over the past two years.  My heart aches for all the people across the world who suffer horrific losses.  I am so thankful for family, friends, medical persons and their support staff, and community efforts to help.  We all still care about each other.  My heart aches for this planet and its future.

"Dancing Too!" gouache 7x7"
Gouache, an opaque, waterbased medium, is new for me.  It has a matt look that I've come to like.​

"White Doorways" cold wax w/ oil 6x6"

Cold Wax,
​mixed with oil paint is a new medium I am exploring.
It reminds me of putting frosting on a cake.  Wiping off areas with a rag or pulling a pallet knife through it change the marks.
