    The tables in the stuio

    I find it important to have lots of images around me of people and art I love. Both are quite inspirational.

  • Woodshop

    Can I say this wood-shop is likely this clean once a year. Well, make that every other year.

  • Pate de' Verre

    Pate de' Verre

    Here I am making a glass boat at a very wonderful workshop I did in Deborah Horrell's studio. She is a wonderful artist and lady!

    The silica and plaster of the mold for pate de' verre are not good things to breathe. Here I am removing the mold from my glass boat.

  • Monoprinting

    I'm working at Atelier Meridian on a series of monoprints here. What a great time.

    Here we are pulling a monoprint image from the plexi-plate. Jane runs the studio and is a wonderful person to work with.

  • In process...

    Here is "Community Has Its Perils" in process. You can see a bit of the inspiration in the image as well.

  • Tornado

    Here I am working on the tornado pieces. Notice the little Scotty puppy behind the easel. Let's just say she is often where I am working.

  • Wooden figures

    Wooden figures

    These are the figures that are in "The Whole Night Sky." I amass a large body of supplies that I build the folks out of.

  • Painting in Dan's studio

    Painting in Dan's studio

    This is Dan Callis's studio down in Southern California that I was blessed to be able to visit and work with him in. A good man indeed.

  • Sky within a box

    This painting is part of one of the shadow boxes. Here it is in process.

  • Checking, always checking

    Checking, always checking

    As I work on something, I find myself coming back to it again and again in the next couple of days to make sure its effective. Do you do that?

  • Frames... Frames...

    Frames... Frames...

    Out of recycled lumber, I took on a task of building 50 of these at one time.

  • More Frames

    More Frames

    Any sunny spot, including my porch becomes a place to dry frames. These were all for the "Little Ones" and the frames for them, took as long to make as the paintings.

  • Little ones on the floor

    Little ones on the floor

    Here are the small paintings all lined up on the floor being good waiting for a frame. (Do you also see the dog toys in this picture?)

  • Little ones on the wall

    Little ones on the wall

    I brought these shelves in from work just to check these out in process.
