Little House on the Prairie

oil on panel, 12" x 12"

An abstracted landscape that ended up more abstract than landscape.  Fine with me.

Caged Birds

 

acrylic on panel, 20" x 16"

This is a narrative painting that is attempting to capture the loneliness and isolation of life during the time of COVID.  Like caged birds, we are all being held captive by this pandemic, albeit to varying degrees.  I tried to show the beauty of the outside world in the colors of the sunrise as a measure of hope for better days to come.

Taos Sunrise

acrylic on MDF panel, 12" x 16"

A new direction awaits me!  I'll be moving to New Mexico in the new year, to the Taos area, and this painting was done in anticipation of it.  The mountain depicted here is part of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, and the adobe in the lower right was just purchased by my good friend Bonny Von Dolores.  Imagine waking up to that view every morning!  I've been living in California for the past 22 years, so this will be a welcome big change for me and possibly a catalyst for complete transformation.  Perhaps that explains my recent fascination with the butterfly, which itself is the symbol of transformation.
