Flowers of the Night

Flowers of the Night

This is an 11 x 14 inch acrylic painting of flowers on a black background.  It is on canvas board and is framed.  I started by painting the board black, then when the paint dried, I painted the irises and other flowers over it.  I like the contrast between the dark background and the flowers, which seem to glow.  This is one of my favorite paintings.  I will consider any offers for this if you leave them in comments or at my email.

Hallucinogenous Portal

Hallucinogenous Portal

This is an 11 x 15 inch painting of a geometric construction.  It is framed under glass.  I constructed the design for this one with a compass, drawing a series of semicircles centered along the edges of the paper.  The design was colored in with India ink and metallic enamel.  The painting has an illusion of depth that seems to draw you into the center, where a metallic sunrise waits.  This is perhaps my favorite painting.  Feel free to leave any offers for this work in comments or at my email listed on the contact page.

Sugar Magnolia

Sugar Magnolia

This is an 11 x 14 watercolor on paper of some magnolia flowers on a branch.  It is framed under glass, so there is a slight reflection in the photograph.  I was going for an oriental style in this piece, hence the simple form and composition.  This is one of the few watercolors I have done.  This painting is one of my favorites.  Feel free to leave any comments or drop me a line if you are interested in owning this work.

Broken Glass Mountains of the Inferno Planet

Broken Glass Mountains of the Inferno Planet

This is an acrylic painting of a scene in orange and white with a touch of red.  It is 16 x 20 inches and is on canvas board.  I used the palette knife to block in some mountains that took on the appearence of broken pieces of glass heated incandescently.  The orange clouds show this to be on another planet where the temperature is much higher than it is on earth.  This piece is close to an abstract, as the forms do not overtly suggest a landscape, but imply one.  If you are interested in purchasing this painting, drop me a line in comments or email with an offer.

Moonrise of the Mermaid

Moonrise of the Mermaid

This is an atmospheric painting in magenta and white.  It is 16 x 20 inches on canvas board.  The image is shadowy and dreamlike.  The subject is a reclining mermaid under the moonlight on the shore of the sea.  This painting is unframed.  I attempted to make an image from simple color and light that would convey a sense of peace and repose.  If you are interested in owning this painting, drop me a line with an offer and we can arrange payment and shipping.
