“Bohemian” 72x48
Maybe we are mere channels of stories floating around asking to be born. Maybe our lives are about what wants to come through rather than what appears to be so. Maybe every connection is a karmic exchange of eternal synchronicity. Maybe there is no higher power or grand plan, but a playful adventure waiting to be had. Maybe we are engineered for less with the choice to do more. Maybe we don’t know anything and beliefs are more stories we create. Maybe all we can do is enjoy random art & a great story and an intense love affair.

Minimalist 48”x48”
She has let go of what no longer serves her purpose and position. What was not of mutual benefit has been disengaged. What is left has depth, meaning, and a fundamental value in contribution. There is clarity in all the loss of clutter. Space for contemplation. Room for the new. Curiosity chides at what could come next. She will stay empty for a while and be with all her vastness.

“Wine Tour in Florence” 6’x3’
“Wine tour in Florence” 6’x3’. I really have nothing more to say. Can we just stand here and stare out at this view in silence? I’m all out of words. My voice has become too weak and breathy for clear annunciations. I’ve tried to write it and all the pens dry up and the pages turn to sand. If longings were pages this book has been re-written a thousand times. Yet, here we are, in this place, in this time, with this nature and all her beauty. She’s whispering “Come inside, tiptoe in my tides, and dance on my shores”! What are we waiting for? The number of summers has a limit and the water is warm. I’m going to her with or without you this time. If she swallows me I’ll be forever draped in her gold. The wine is flowing and the fields have been picked. It’s time my love .. it’s time..

“Aerlig” 48x48
“Aerlig” .. 48x48 I’ve stared at you for months. You were evasive and had trouble with honesty. I know you wanted to tell all your truths and also you feared the consequences. Such a human trait for a muse. You just couldn’t tell me when you were finished. Why is it such a courageous quality to say “enough is enough”? I think I left you more bare and unused than I wanted to. Your lack of communication forced my hand into an emptiness that I’ve had to learn to live with and ultimately love. Your layers, love, and how you shine melted me. You did me in with your lack of atonement to my will, thus I was hooked. I love seeing you without my own lens of perspective. It’s what is being asked at this time for you to call this relationship complete. I do love that you were willing to play in the darkness with me. It’s so rare to find one so interested in the willingness to be deeper & darker. To be in the presence of a space that says “I can take it”
Aerlig is Norse for honest.

Vestige 36”x36”
There are traces of me that can no longer be found. There are spaces where trinkets of other lifetimes are used to monopolize view. There is clarity in all this loss, giving away, and the generosity of a willingness to just have it taken. There is this way I can feel the spaces between my breaths and the swoosh after each heartbeat without the impediment of clutter. My wholeness may have as much to do with what is lost as it does with what is found. In emptiness, there is peace & silence. Like the quiet created by the heaviness of snow-covered ground. Slow, quiet, calm, and insulated. This one is all cool & grey... any warmth is just light trickery .. the white is bright and it’s shades of grey and graphite. She will empty you so you can find yourself…

Bourbon, a Cigar & the Terracotta Sunset 48”x48”.
This one wants some attention. She wants to know that you see her and she cares deeply about how she makes you feel. She craves the space to be free. Her taste is refined and her fun has a flavor for a mature palate. She says to bring some accents but she is the feature. She will always be cast as the main character.

Shadowmancer 48”x36”
This one was a constant play in light, darkness & shadow. The metaphor & the reality of becoming inside of it was a conjuring that I want to touch more. When we already know we are light we can surrender to the darkness!

“Meet Me in Tuscany” 34.5x34.5
“Meet me in Tuscany” 34.5x34.5 Maybe the longing for something is the greater feeling to having it. When what we desire arrives it can be whelmed with further questions around how to receive the much of it. I’m drawn to the stories of unrequited love and the lust that years in the making of an image can conjure. Can what turns up ever compete with our imaginations? Can it be more? Expectations of grandeur are surely the death of simple sweet realities. Can we ever be met fully with all this ceaseless daydreaming?

Transparency 20”x20”
Being open & speaking the truth is not easy. We must know when to exercise discretion and when to engage. Most discussion or argument amounts to very little other than an exhaustive expend of energy by all parties. There is this beautiful wisdom in just listening and keeping quiet. I’m finding this blank space of keeping my opinions to myself to be a kind and integrative practice. Becoming invisible has a liberation all its own. This is #2 in my “Spaces Between” Series. A grouping on subtle toned smaller works. Perfect for “the spaces between” the bigger work in our lives. (frame not included)

Shades of Grey 12”x12”
Shades of Grey 12”x12” Maybe things are exactly as they appear. The shades of grey are merely a muting of black with white. Or also, it could be that there are layers. Things are hidden in the shadows that never see light. Perhaps a truth trying not to be so harsh. This contrast of hues dyes my perspective and influences my heart as the shadows dance with the light. This is #4 in my “Spaces Between” Series. A grouping on subtle toned smaller works. Perfect for “the spaces between” the bigger work in our lives. (frame not included)
