Night Light
Continuing with the imagery of a light in the dark, this 30 x 30 canvas is the execution of an idea I've been mulling over for a while now!

Cats


It occasionally crosses my mind to make pictures of my pets. Here are a couple of my favorite feline room mates. Thumper and His Toys 36" x 40" was executed in acrylic and assemblage in 1983 when Thumper was a small kitten, and includes a number of objects attached to the painting that were retrieved from under the stove where he lost them. He often brought objects into the kitchen because they were much more fun to bat about on the linoleum than on the living room carpet. Thumpers Dream 1986 is 45" x 60" and combines heavy matte impasto acrylic surfaces with one of my earliest experiments with oil paint. It is one of the early transitional paintings from the symbolic icon approach of my early work, to the the naturalism that I now employ in search of a more poetic visual language. Princess Cid 2010 final version 30" x 40" is oil glazes from start to finish

Rustic Table
I made this table as a Christmas present for my daughter. It is constructed from sticks of the pine lumber that I mill for the stretcher bars that I use for my paintings, laminated together to make the top, and legs fashioned from yard debris... tree trimmings rescued from the firewood pile. No marshmallow roasting for these sticks!
