More will eventually be added but as a visual artist writing about paintings is somewhat akin to dancing in snowshoes, it can be done but something get lost in the translation.

FANTASY
My subtitle for this is "And the Fox Jumped over the Buddha." “Fantasy” is a combination of images from vacations, trips and just lying around -- memories of relaxed times filled with flights of fancy.
FERTILE GROUND
The main focus of this piece is imagination and how it is the most fertile of grounds. A good imagination is the stepping stone for greatness. It is the greatest gift we have that could possibly inspire in others. Without it nothing new would ever be created.

ON THE FIFTH DAY
This digital piece came from learning the music to, and performing, Hayden's "The Creation." It's basically about the creation of the world and all that inhabits it. This image focuses mainly on the creation of the animals with a few extras such as the "monstrous fall" of some of the angels as well as a strange alien creature that just appeared in the act of creation.
TRIBEULATION
In some ways the new digital community both embraces and denies our tribalism. The use of digital technology gives us a sense of community without there really being a physical connection. It allows us to retain a sense of the "rugged individual" while being part of a "digital tribe."
THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND
This is one of my favorite sections in Handel"s "Messiah," not only because of it dramatic content, but it signals that the end of the work is near. (If you've ever sat through or sung "Messiah" you know what I mean.) This also is a great analogy fo the end of the workday because the lyrics are "The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised." Been there, done that.

STILLNESS IN MOTION
This is a photo of my ankles taken with my digital camera, overlayed with an image of a rolled up solar pool cover. The title comes from the concept of a sufi "whirling dervish" who find stillness and enlightenment of the soul in movement .

COURTING THE MUSE
The main figure is transparent so that it resembles the foms of Indonesian Wayang Kulit or “Shadow Play”, a unique combination of ritual, lesson, and entertainment.
