What's On the Easel
This is what I'm working on right now. What you are viewing is commonly called "work in progress." The multiple images show the stages of how the painting is conceived, drawn, then painted. This page is continually updated as the painting progresses. The final piece will appear in the Gallery section.
Commissioned pieces are welcomed. Inquire via e-mail for further information.

January 2012
Its a new year filled with new ideas for new paintings. I'm having a good time with this new format. By mounting the rice paper to the canvas, the paintings rival traditional works on canvas.
Come to find out, this is not really a "new" approach to works on paper. Many of the French masters, like Monet, Dega and Cezzanne, all mounted works on paper to canvas. So, I am in good company!
Here is the WIP (work in progress) for the newest painting:
- gouache on handmade rice paper
- diptych canvas panels - 12" x 24" and 18" x 24"
- overall dimension: 24" x 31"
The finished painting, titled "Where Grandfather Sleeps"

And always, the crows are a major image among my work. These two will be matted and framed under glass. They are 11" x 15" each:
