Face Seeking Hope

Picture of the Day

Face Seeking Hope

Pen and ink, 6"x9"
Over the years I have filled many a sketchbook with line art similar to this.
I am fascinated by the forms that emerge from simple linear patterns.

Man With Rose Colored Eyes

Picture of the Day Man With Rose Colored Eyes
Acrylic on wrapping paper, 8"x10"
$195

The piece evolved from a sheet of wrapping paper which, when I looked at it, seemed liked rows of eyes rather than rows of roses. So I painted a face around one pair of eyes. (below) I probably should have quit there, but continued to work and re-work the piece, continuously dissatisfied till I finally quit in the condition you see it above.

Lost In Translation

Picture of the DayLost In Translation
Acrylic on ceramic tile from Italy, 12' x 12"

Image based on the scene where Bill Murray is doing a whiskey commercial, the reason he has come to Tokyo. It strikes me as a pivotal scene, as he is required to act alive while inside feeling so dead.

Cowboy Bob

Picture of the DayCowboy Bob
Acrylic on newsprint, 16"x 20"

I like this painting, based on yet another image of Bob Dylan,
and only regret that I did not paint it on a higher quality surface.
Simple yet evocative...
