Dusk

Acrylic, found paper, on found wood panel. 75" X 10". $250, SOLD

This painting was inspired by the many times I have driven across the Bay Bridge, at dusk, and felt my smile grow upon looking at the beautifully dark buildings, with the glowing windows, against a brilliant blue sky. I made this by painting over found paper, in various metallic colors, cutting out the windows with an exacto knife, and placing lightly colored tissue paper behind each window. I then folded each piece in half to create a 3-D effect and placed them on a long piece of wood, of which I sponge painted a deep blue color.

Snow Day

Arylic, found paper, found tile, found Styrofoam, on wood panel. 24" X 24" Click photo for larger view. $850 SOLD

This painting was made by layering on squared pieces of paper into 4 vertical rows, painting them a very dark brown, sponging over it in white and adding the tile, and Styrofoam embellishments. I originally titled it White Bliss, but after of few days of looking at it, realized it had a very winter feel to it, as the sponged white paint resembled snow, and the giant Styrofoam fruit resembled the leftovers of a blossoming tree.

Hope

Clay and Acrylic on 3 1/2" X 5" panels. $150 SOLD

After seeing "Tear My Heart Out" and optomistic friend of mine suggested I make another version of the same piece, this one with a "happy" ending. I liked the concept, but don't necessariy believe in it, at this point. Hence the title, Hope.
