  Impossible view her on my website Impossible, original acrylic on cradled wood panel, 36”x36”x1-1/2”, $2900 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela Impossible was so titled for that reason. She came from a well of seemingly impossible circumstances that brought me to my knees the last few weeks. There are so many bits inspiring her - the revelation of difficult truths, the rending and destruction of things held precious, the healing power of a hug, uncertain diagnoses… all just a snippet of what was on my mind as I painted. I envisioned this painting as a pile of birds inside a pile of blooms, a metaphor of mother-daughter relationships borne of a vision that arrived while at a memorial surrounded by the ancillary moms who helped raise my own now adult kids. That idea, though, apparently is for another painting - this piece started out in that direction...

  Upended view her on my website Upended, original acrylic on quatrefoil shaped wood panel, 20”x20”x1/2”, $1500 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . There’s something intriguing about these floral paintings, which are not done from real life plants, but painted from the heart. I’m starting with the idea of gesture and body language - what might a certain feeling look like in plant form - and diving in from there.  The work goes through some crazy iterations - this one was full of stretched blooms (as if they were silly putty) before settling into the rose shrub. And that dahlia idea isn’t going anywhere - if I paint it enough times (even if it gets painted over!) I’ll figure out a way to make it work. You can get a good look at Upended over  on my website . You’ll find links to zoom in close to her surface or view in a room setting (please note that the room setting option will display here a bit diffe...
