Designer Babies


Well, this is the last new painting before my upcoming 3 shows. I am happy with this painting. I love the colors, it gives me the feeling of an old illustration out of a 1950's childrens book. It was pure luck that the colors came out so nicely... I hated the background color in the beginning...

Anyway, this painting is about how, as parents, we will someday, be able to order our perfect child. With genetic engineering, it is merely a matter of time...

Hope you enjoy the painting, and give some thought to whether you really think this world is ready for ordering babies.

Mating Season



Ever noticed how women act when they are after a man? The competition can be fierce... so, I call this Mating Season... this female seems to have gone to extremes... We can be wicked little creatures, cant we???

haha!!

Heavenly Whispers


Well, as usual, no painting ever turns out the way I see it in my mind. This is a very poor photograph of this painting, however, in reality, the colors are much richer, and the hair much deeper toned... Ah well, what do you do with a digital camera?

I was born at 8:08 in the morning. Since I began a couple of years ago in my art career, I began seeing 808's everywhere. Uncanny things, that simply cant be made up. Cash register receipts, computer glitches, assigned account numbers... you name it and the 808's have been appearing. When my dad was alive he used to always tell me the story of how he received the telegram announcing that his baby daughter had been born at 8:08am. I wonder sometimes, if my dad is putting his approval on the fact that I am painting now. Or if I am being warned, or cheered on, or whatever. I will never know, except that when I began painting, it was as if I was born again. SO... this painting is just a little tribute to my 808s. I hope they stay with me forever...

The Timekeepers


Well, this is the newest painting. I am not especially happy with it, and cant really figure out why, but here it is. I like the concept of the painting, and definitely like the colors... ???

Anyway, it is an oil on canvas... 18x24 inches

I do hope you enjoy it!!

The Masquerade


Well, this painting is pretty self explanatory. We are all hiding something...sometimes we even try to hide ourselves!

This is a 12 x 12 inch oil on stretched canvas.

See ya'll later!

Selfish by Nature

Well, here I am again, with another new painting. This is a bit of a stretch for me, as it really has no emotional value to it at all. However, it has its own little message. As human beings, we have a responsibility to our planet, to nature. I hope we, as a race, begin to take care of our earth and all it has to offer a bit better...

da-da!!! giggles....
