Embracing Your Fears in Pink Ribbons




This is a 24x24 oil on linen. I think it is quite creepy, but not because of the reason you might think. To me, this painting is about embracing, or facing ones fears. That has always frightened me. I think that in order to be able to do this, we have to have trust in ourselves and faith that it will be ok, which is why I put the girl in pink ribbons... the trust of a child. The girl representing the fear is holding an 8 ball, showing how no one really knows how things are going to turn out.

I dont normally explain my art. See? We never know how things will turn out!

Hope you like it! Prints will be available soon...

Everythings Coming Up Roses



16x20 oil on canvas. Another in my "series" of common phrases. I am enjoying these. They are not necessarily recognizable as my normal type of work, but they have been enjoyable! Hope you are enjoying them too!!!

Time Flys



Well another painting done. This one is different in that I used much cooler colors than I normally would. I prefer my warm pallet of reds and golds, but occasionally I suppose I need to experiment with things. Anyway, I am having fun with these common phrases... Pulling myself Together, and now Time Flys. I have a whole list... should be a series!

Pulling Myself Together


Pulling Myself Together



The new painting... such a relief after about 3 weeks of not painting. I was beginning to worry... Anyway, this is called Pulling Myself Together... for obvious reasons... Well, I DO have a sense of humor..
