MUSIC OF THE SPHERES 2 and 3

These are 22"x32" and the latest in that series. The title is from the first verse of the hymn "This is my Father's World": "...all nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres."

small version of RED HORSE RANCH WINDBREAK

This little painting was a study for a larger piece. It's found a home too.

SANCTUARY finds a home

This is a 2006 piece that was purchased today. I love it when paintings find their rightful owners!

SUN FIELD

Another tissue collage in the sunrise landscape series.

LAKE, SHORE, SKY

This is my new favorite. It was fun, too.

PRAISE THE LORD 2

PRAISE THE LORD 1

The end of a favorite hymn is embedded into this piece which has the line "Praise the lord never let your voice be still."

RISING SUN

This is on a 300 pound piece of watercolor paper. It's got more layers than an archeological dig!

MUSIC OF THE SPHERES 1

This is a new piece from the weekend. I like the closeups as well as the full size piece. There will be more in this series.

RED BARN ON A BLUE FARM

One of a new series of tissue collages that may grace a new restaurant in Fennville, MI.

It's called the Salt of the Earth. Should be great food and good art!

vineyard revisited

The bottom photo is a painting I did in 2004. After I finished it, I started another take on the scene but it got way too tight and detailed. I got frustrated and painted most of it out and started over but then turned it to the wall. This weekend I took another look at it and brought it to a finish. Same location, different take on the landscape.

CRAZY PAPER QUILT

I did this to fit a long frame that's been languishing in the basement. It turned out pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I love elongated compositions. Details of the piece are on the next post down.
