Just  reach out . I was still  “om-ming”  when I started this one. Of course, elements of the prior painting or whatever I happen to be thinking about always travel into the next piece. While I may paint isolated in my basement studio, my art doesn’t is not made in a vaccum. I choose what to consciously invite, like the fox I dream about and a color palette inspired by the season, but my gut brings the rest. Intuitive painting is about setting the table and waiting to see who your guest of honor will be. It is the most demanding form of painting I have ever tried - and the most satisfying. I have no idea what’s coming next, but I know she will be fascinating. You are invited to view Indian Summer  on my website , inside a room setting and up close, like nose to the canvas up close.

Optimist began as a demonstration painting in my workshop last month.

Om view her on my website Om, original acrylic on panel, 24”x18”, $1000 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Did you know that the mantra “om” is considered to be the primordial sound from which the universe was born? I kept finding myself humming “om” (would that be considered “om-ming”?) as I worked on this one. Her relaxed face, the caress of light, the profusion of petals, all seemed to float and lean in to the sound as I painted. It was a very beautiful, calming afternoon spent in my flow state with the soothing sound. I wish you a pocket of the same today and always.

  Dreamland view her on my website Dreamland, original acrylic on aluminum panel, 24”x24”, $1400 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Surrender is difficult, particularly for this control freak. If anything, the past few years have taught me to sit with the difficult things and trust that it will, somehow, be ok in the end. This painting perfectly illustrates that struggle to accept and move through the challenge confronting us. (Also, can I gush for a minute about the aluminum substrate? if you like a smooth brushstroke and juicy marks, this is the surface for you. Paint glides on and rests above the metal. And the reflective surface bounces light in return through the marks. The panels are lightweight and do not respond to humidity. It is some yummy, yummy stuff) You are invited to view Dreamland  on my website , inside a room setting and up close, like nose to the canvas up close. The link to purchase is also t

  Transience view her on my website Transience, original acrylic on flat panel, 24”x24”, $1200 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Pema Chodrom says, “I am the sky, the rest is just weather.”  Part maelstrom, part light after the storm, Transience is a painting imbued with hope. The sun, anchored inside the rabbit while simultaneously glowing from behind, rests at the heart of our universe.  Transience showed up the week of Hurricane Helene. Little did I know when I mapped out the marketing for this painting that Milton was close behind. Please, all in the path of these incomprehensible storms, be safe.   You are invited to view Transience  on my website , inside a room setting and up close, like nose to the canvas up close.

  Inner Garden view her on my website Inner Garden, original acrylic on panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . A few years back I did a journaling lesson  on interior landscapes . The idea of being a container for all the things I cherish the most about the world was a thrilling one to sit with and journal about.  I took this concept one step further with Fox. If she were a vessel of her loves, what might she hold? the night sky, mossy pathways, scents traveling on a gentle breeze, the awakening of spring and warmth of summer. You can view - or purchase - Inner Garden  on my website .  Let me know  if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus shipping paid in full inside 12 months time).
