The Birth of Insight

The Birth of Insight. My newest painting. This is an oval canvas, 16x20. This is also an autobiographical piece. I began understanding and gaining insight into who I was 3 years ago when I began painting. Thus the title... hope you enjoy it!

In the Beginning

18x18 oil on canvas... Another technical failure, but I still like the concept of this painting. Obviously it represents the very beginning of... everything. Trinity, creation, plans... It is full of symbols and secret messages... I hope you enjoy trying to find the secrets!

Eve and the Pearls of Wisdom

3 years ago, when I began painting, the fifth painting that I did was entitled Forbidden. It was an attempt at the story of Eve and her deception. I failed at it miserably and promised myself that someday I would try again. This is my second attempt. The painting is huge, a 24x48 canvas. The biggest painting I have ever done up to now. It shows the story of Eve... and how in her own ignorance she believed that she could be like God... thus the title.. Eve had no wisdom at all, and once she gained the knowledge of good and evil, she realized the folly of her decision.

The Virgin Queen

The Virgin Queen, a 30x40" oil on linen painting. I tried to depict Elizabeths loveless life.. my question being, was this by accident or by choice? There were one or two men in Elizabeths life that it is reported she would have married, but it never worked out. Did Elizabeth manipulate the situation in order to remain "married to England?". I think she may have. I have used some symbolism to show her manipulating her love life or lack thereof... I hope you enjoy this painting!

The Targets

The Targets... I did this painting to pass the time while I waited to leave on vacation. I didnt want to just sit, and my next painting is a large portrait of Elizabeth 1st, and that was nothing to begin right before leaving. This is a simple painting, basically showing the two targets that are most often aimed at from verbal abusers. The mind (or soul) and heart.

Jumping Through Hoops

Well, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever finish this painting... This is quite an emotional piece for me. Hopefully it depicts a relationship that is very demanding and loveless and the effects it would have on the other person. Children especially. A demanding parent can break us in half at such an early age, leaving very little to build on in future years. I think children tend to detach somewhat from their painful emotions, thus the tearing eye pinned up on the tent canvas. I feel like I cant really explain much more, as my own mind begins to whirl... but hopefully, if this painting "speaks" to you, you will hear it in your own language.

Prints will be available in a few weeks. Painting is not for sale at this time...

See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil

Well now. This is the first LARGE painting I have done in what feels like eons. It is a 24x30 oil on linen. I hope the meaning is obvious... I was going to paint womens bodies with monkey heads, but decided I should behave~! haha.... I am off to sketch out the next one~
