New Entry for the Corvallis Fall Festival

"Tides"
Painted Collage, 40" x 30"

At the Corvallis Fall Festival - September 26 - 28, 2008

Flower Collage

Another collage made from flower petals, giving the flowers a second life. Lots of great texture and some color. In this one there are orchid, hydrangea, rose, clematis, weigelia and probably a few other types of flower petals.

Opalescence

"Opalescence"

This painting is in the Community Exhibit at the Oregon State University LaSells Stewart Center through the month of July along with works by about 130 local artists.
The painting is titled for the look of opal in some of the passages with colors shining from beneath the surface. Irridescent paint helped give it that effect. (Click on the image to see a larger view)

Happy 4th

A red, white and blue painting for the holiday.

Beware mildew

On a recent trip to Georgia, I saw what mildew had done to one of my old drawings that had been temporarily stored in a garage that was too humid. It is sad. Be careful or mildew can ruin a piece of art (brown stain above).
