blogI have just completed this 42×42 inch oil on panel painting. Part of a series I have titled the Wheel series, referring to one of buddhism’s eight auspicious
symbols, the wheel. This more specifically is a wheel of life, depicting the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, as well as the Texas native flowers shown,
the prickly rose and the indian blanket
here is a glimpse of my latest work in progress.
the title of the series, “the wheels” makes reference to one of buddhism’s eight auspicious symbols, the wheel.
the oil on panel paintings serve to mark the days and give direction.
as well they act as a dharana, a single point of focus for meditation.
All of these paintings are 30×30 inches, oil on panel
I just want to publicly thank Lisa and Lee for their recent purchase of life energy mandala #158. I feel very honored that it will grace the walls of their new home together in Dallas. Lisa has recently gotten a job teaching film there so they will be leaving us for a bit, (at least I selfishly hope it is only a bit).
thanks so much for your support Lisa and Lee.
I finished this piece yesterday. I am not sure how I feel about it. It is the second piece like it, and I let it go it’s own way, but I think I like the first one better.
I think I like the more realistic flowers rather than these designed lotus flowers.
It is a step though.
So both Leon and I have been accepted into this juried exhibit at the studio 2 gallery.
It wasn’t hard, our friend and fellow artist Mo Scollan, (former gallery owner of the 2040 gallery), served as the guest curator.
If you have never been to this gallery check it out. It is on South Lamar, right next to yogayoga south and Holland photo. Tina Weitz runs the show over there and she is doing a great job.
The opening reception for this exhibit will be on Saturday, February 27th, 6:30-9:30pm.
There will also be a written word event at the gallery on Saturday, March 13th at 5pm.
I like January. Things slow down a bit and I can always find more time to paint.
I completed this painting this afternoon. Although I technically started working on it about 2 weeks ago, I feel like it has been in the making for quite some time.
It feels like it is reaching back to when I was 18 years old up through my present 46 years. It has something to do with the connectedness of all things. Visualizing the coming to be.

I just finished this piece this morning. Revisiting ideas from the past. This painting is 16×16 inches, oil on panel. The finish is fairly flat. I think the next one will have some glossy areas and maybe some overlays.
