Aross the Divide

acrylic on panel, 24" x 24"

With this painting, I was experimenting with placing the figure of the cow in an unfamiliar environment.  I'm wanting to get more abstract in my paintings.  I might go back in for some tweaking of this one later.  Updated 5/2/2026:  I've done a bit of tweaking.

Citron Sunset

 
oil on canvas, 16" x 20"

I tried to create an ethereal quality in the atmosphere of this scene that celebrates the color yellow.  It also celebrates mauve, lavender and orange, a beautiful color combo imho.

On the Lookout

 
oil on panel, 18" x 18"

Another palette knife project, working on a rough surface.  I like it more than I thought I would.

Des Oiseaux Sur un Bateau

 
oil on panel, 24" x 18"

I've been sitting with this painting for a while, wondering whether it's finished or not.  I've done quite a few of these "bird girl" paintings and I think there might be one or two more in me before I'm done.

Floralescent

oil on panel, 16" x 16"

The title of this painting contains a double entendre, as the inspiration for it is a painter named Flora Yukhovich.  It's another in my abstracted botanicals series.

My Cup Runneth Over

oil on panel, 16" x 16"

This is the next in my abstracted botanical series of paintings, originally inspired by those garbage can bouquets in New York City created by Lewis Miller.
