Ambient Harmony

Spring Softness was my inspiration for this oil painting. Using a limited palette, I created an abstract impressionistic landscape. I like the way the painting has a watercolor feeling to it.

Transmutation

This small 6" x 6" collage has to do with a large theme of shifting from one state to another. 
 The viewer is able to observe, not only an artistic sensibility, but text from three distinct languages; pieced together, this creates something entirely new!

Angelic Figure

This is a contemporary figurative painting.
 I drew the ink figure on prepared paper during an open sketch class.
 To prepare the paper I painted acrylics on a piece of glass
 and then printed it onto mixed media paper.

Good things come in small packages!  This is a 4 x 4 mixed media collage.  For the next month it will be for sale at The Artists' Collective of Hyde Park.

Happiness

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness,
 but in allowing happiness to change its form 
without being disappointed by the change;
 happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
 ~Charles L. Morgan

Harmony

Creating collage is the process of putting together combinations of elements that can exist as a whole.  The various components must have a flow or energy which can exist together. 
 When this happens harmony is achieved.

The Awesome Power Of

I am having fun recycling old books and incorporating them into collages.
  I am a big fan of putting all things to good use. 
 This system seems to create a harmony in my environment.
