| The following are some of my thoughts on specific paintings. 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. PAINTINGS MIXED MEDIA DIGITAL & DRAWINGS |

| Descriptions of Digital Painting AAMAN ALLEGORY A NUTHER WORLD BALINESE DANCER DANCE OF THE ANCIENTS BIG HEAD BYE BYE COLLAPSE CREATION ON AN ANGEL CRUCIFIXUS DREAMS OF GAIA DREAMTIME DRYAD EVENTIDE FALCON 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. FIREBIRD FIRST CONTACT ROSE ON THE FRINGES FUTURE ARCHEOLOGY GOOD INTENTIONS GUITAR HEAD HOLIDAY KING OF SHADOWS Insiped by Shakespeare’s “Midsummers Night Dream” LEDA AND THE SWAN MADONNA OF THE MACHINE MAKING ANGELS MAN IN THE MOON MARIANNE MASQUERADE ME LLAMA NIGHT IN BALI NIGHT BLOSSOM NIGHT HAWK NIGHTLIFE STILL LIFE WITH ROSES PEONIES POSIEDON'S ADVENTURE PREMONITION PROMETHEUS RECLINING RON RUFFIAN THE SEER ABREAST OF BOTH WORLDS ARE WE LIKE SHEEP Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, Munch’s “Scream”, Beanie and Cecil SHIP OF DREAMS THE BARNYARD THE BRIDGE THE SEED THE CONTENDER THE COUPLE THE SEED THE GIFT 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. TULIPS WALK IN THE WOODS WAR WATERFALL WONDERBOY A FINE SUMMER DAY AROUND THE CAPE 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 . CARPET GOD ZODDABIR SPIRAL DANCE VIRTUAL CAROUSEL SHEE MIDNIGHT FRANCOIS HORSEY HORSE DREAMS THERE'S A CLOWN ON THE THRONE INVENTION OP 2 (UNDER THE CANOPY) This is the second in a series of digital painting incorporating as major components photos from the 2003-2004 Mars Spirit and Opportunity rovers. INVENTION OP 4 (THE VEIL OF NIGHT) This is the third in a series of digital painting incorporating as major components photos from the 2003-2004 Mars Spirit and Opportunity rovers.
