Paintings
Although painting was not my first medium, I have been completely dedicated to getting good at it the last few years. These are some of the paintings that show my current direction.  They are  acrylic on canvas,  34 by 34 inches.

 Water Reflections - series
acrylic on canvas, 33.5 by 41.5 inches

This is how I think of the magical phenomena of light falling on water.  The undulating reflections of plants, sky and sunlight in a river or pond give me a fleeting glimpse of an alternate reality. These paintings are my flights of fantasy.  They express my wish to follow the light to an inner state that is full of peace, hope and delight. My inspiration comes from photographs I take in parks. I hope they will lead you to someplace you enjoy.

Wild Sunday
How about a little kiss ?
Chickie
I mean more than just a
peck on the cheek !
This long and lazy Sunday afternoon
is starting to tickle my fancy.
Bushes rustle with suggestive verse.
Warm pond water ripples against the bottoms of the
ducks
as they turn from side to side,
hiding their delight.
The day unfolds in sweet pastels
as tasty as a handful of Jordan Almonds.
Bees vibrate the flowers
humming sweet nothings under their breath.
Wind caresses the trees.
Planets whirl their moons around in
a smooth celestial waltz.
Dark matter seduces the stars.
The whole universe is in love
this sunny afternoon
while human beings sit in a dark corner
and worry about themselves.
