my new pond
Had a few days off and an incomplete area on my deck. Originally I was going to put down sod, but I think this is far more relaxing. Now anyway, carrying all those rocks up to the roof, well, I'm not going anywhere tonight, beyond the deck anyway. Oh and the frog I cast outta concrete with my good friend Ben Nolin a few years back.

JAZZ series
This Series is now availiable!!!!(a few pieces will be held in the artists collection)
Inspired by some fantastic jazz bands I saw on an art trip to Ottawa, the JAZZ series was pure joy to create. Some of the pieces are 6’ long x 2’ high, some 16” x 20”. When in a room surrounded by all these pieces, jazz music in the background, well, its something. Part of the series is bright, vibrant, with a few raw earthy pieces to round it all out. Enjoy!

Dusk and Dawn (sold) ---------Waiting for Grace



Andromeda------Cleopatra (sold) ------------- Thisbe



Amazons (sold) ------Artemis (sold) --------Psyche

Achilles- In Progress

I refined the sketch abit....
Then added some color, at this point I left off on doing anything else for many months...
When returning to the piece I felt it needed some underlying shadow and some helmet work....
Wanting to make the helmet "bronzy", I overlayed a bit of green on the yellow...Then added some ruddish hues, going to leave it for now...
The red sky was bothering me, wanted something stormy and undefined, started with some yellow ( oh I added a little warmth to the cloak, but its not close to its final look yet)...
Added some white...
