Alone Again

 Sometimes you feel alone because you are, and sometimes you feel alone with someone right there next to you.

Catwalk

Don't just stand there, let's get to it. Strike a pose, there's nothing to it. Vogue!

This was inspired by fashion illustrations. I'm not in to "fashion" much at all. Kinda just wear what I want to wear and don't follow trends. For the most part I think there have been very few attractive advancements to fashion since the early 60s. That being said, I really enjoy fashion illustrations - yes, even the modern stuff! They're so heavily stylized and often bear little resemblance to the finished product, but I think they're probably a truer representation of what the designer really wants to create.

Tweed

I love fall. I love hats. I love tweed. I even love the word "tweed". It sounds silly and childish but the fabric itself is rather sophisticated. Tweeeeeeed...

Mixing Bowl

 "Mixing Bowl" Digging through the archives, I came across this oldie. This was inspired by a painted tile made a decade ago by a friend. So serene in her kitchen duties - a feeling I certainly can't relate to!

Sunset On The Lake

 "Sunset On The Lake" Good things come from oddly sized canvases found in basements...

Repose

 "Repose" This is actually a series of three framed mirrors which can be hung as a group or individually. I had these mirrors for months before actually finding the inspiration to work with them. (A common occurrence with my collection of found objects - or "flat surfaces" as I call them.) One day I just looked at them and thought to do primitive paintings of body positions wrapping around the square shapes. They're a bit different from my "typical" figural style but they've had a very positive response. Most people see them as people doing yoga, which was not at all my intention. Now that I think about it, they do rather look like a trio of yogis!
