Welcome 2021. Welcome, welcome, welcome. In a burst of gratitude to 2021 being right around the bend I did these. I needed to put something down on a surface. And after painting 2021 once I couldn’t resist doing it more so I added three boards to the batch. Four in all. Hope loves company.
Richard, my apartment building neighbor upstairs, used to give me fruitcakes at holiday time. Even in his 80’s he’d walk up to Macy’s Herald Square and bring them back. He was quite the fellow.

Averaging 52″ long by 1″ square I’ve repurposed these artifacts of tobacco farming into welcoming accents. Lean them […]

For a time after 9/ll a symbolic shift I took was to paint suns red, skies red. Whether what’s painted in this piece is a sun or simply a red radiance of life, it is held aloft by five noble grass blades. Nature supporting life.
I’ve called this piece many things – Woman Form, Universal Woman, and as it’s currently called here, Woman. In a way it’s a visual locking in of innumerable aspects.
