Caribbean Rocks -

Polar Night's Abyss -
Group B, 30" x 40" (framed)
A few stars on a deepened sky, a crevice in the ice looks innocent enough but hides the danger of isolated darkness . . .
Exhibited at Buffalo Trails Gallery.
Arctic Night -
Group A, 24" x 30" (framed)
A frozen night of clouds: deep purple, resonant blue, pure black, stormy yet serene; all the light is held inside for the moment; all that is outside is dark . . .

Last Light -
Group D, 36" x 48" (framed)
The mountains below and the sky above have already welcomed the darkness. Along the horizon, the last light of the sun is visible, a brightness that will soon be enveloped by night . . .
Sun Dance -

Celestial Sea -
Group D (as is), 60" x 36" (framed; needs reframing)
This is the ocean of a dream, of another place and time, of another level of being. This is my most Piscean work, reflecting my love of the sea, my fascination with water and stars, and my sense of other worlds--inner and outer worlds of indescribable power and beauty . . .
Exhibited at Northshore U.U. Church.
Cross Currents -
Group C, 48" x 36" (framed)

Magic Mountains -
Group C, 48" x 36" (painted edge)
The landforms look desertlike, but the vegetation is deep green--as if the desert land has taken on the rainforest--and the distant peaks and buttes are not dry brown but deep, verdant blue . . .
Wave Vortexes -
Group C, 48" x 36" (framed)
The surface of a wave on the ocean looks like one form; but perhaps if you could look from within the water, you might see wave set upon wave as they rise and break . . .

Watering the Garden -
Group D, 48" x 36" (unframed)
I love the way the sun shines through the spray of water on a fully flowered garden, the way the spray breaks into rainbowed droplets to nourish the plants . . .
Spring Trees -
Group D, 48" x 36" (unframed)
"Nature's first green is gold . . ." (Robert Frost). This scene represents my favorite forest of softly colored spring trees, each with its own sparkling shade of goldenness . . .
Mountain Sunrise -
Group A, 24" x 30" (framed)
Sometimes, a sunrise seems to paint the entire landscape with light and color, like an image from a fairy tale . . .
