Ok so after a very busy holiday I am trying to peel out some
new pieces quick for Cup and Saucer for January. Time to
recycle! Here is a revised piece.


So I think I will do a few more of these and then attempt some
new pieces to be finished very shortly.
I will update about art in hand deck as I get to it but so far I
haven’t started!
Yesterday I was given some great news. Here in Portland a new project is
beginning for 54 local artists. The goal is to create a one-of-a-kind art
deck that showcases local artists to be sold in some local stores. The call
for art was issued last month. I was chosen to be one of the 54 artist to
create a unique playing card. The painting does not create a revenue for
me but there will be a showing sometime in March of all the 54 paintings.
In late April the original paintings will be auctioned off and the proceeds
will be given to the charity of the artists choice. I turned in my paper
work for the project right away and was given my first choice for my card.
The Queen of Hearts!
For this painting I am planning on doing a self portrait. Here is a rough
look at what I am basing the painting on.

New paintings on Etsy! My Shop
Tonight I was featured in the grow gallery. I had a lot of fun
it was interesting ease-dropping on others. Thank you so much
Grow Gallery and Art on Alberta for letting my little paintings
show!

Before people showed up!
So I was suddenly inspired to make a mini sculpture. I ended up
making a creature I call evolution. This guy is tiny! It is only 6″ tall with
the chair. Enjoy!

A larger picture is in my portfolio HERE!
Here is my latest project. My last entry was what I based this drawing from.
I photoshopped some elements together. This will be a fun one!

I have another project I want to get to hopefully on deadline.
The theme is “Cirquesque.” So I took some stock art and played
with photo-shop. This is what I will be painting!

I am very excited to announce that my two submissions for the
100th monkey art gallery for pilgrimage were accepted! The show
opens November 6th at 110 SE 16th Ave, Portland OR

A Reflection of Age

Death is a Part of Life
I just finished another submission for a show. The theme is pilgrimage. My idea
was that a spiritual journey occurs when we understand that death is a vital part
of life. It is around and within every living creature.

This piece is for a submission to the November themed show at 100th
monkey art studio. The theme is “Pilgrimage.”
A pilgrimage is a long journey or search for some type of moral significance.
Sometimes, it is a journey to a sacred place. Members of many major religions
participate in pilgrimages. Have you ever taken a trip physically, emotionally or
spiritually that you might consider a pilgrimage?
So here is my piece about aging and the journey.

These piece is done on canvas inserted into the back of a mirror.
