"About last Night" 38"x50"

"About Last Night" 
This piece was created using an old pair of Levi's a friend was about to throw away. I had no idea just how I was going to incorporate them into a work of art, It took several weeks for an idea to form. I found that trying to manipulate them on the base was a little more difficult than I thought it would have been. Being that the jeans were the same size and I wanted a male female appearance to the art, I simply placed the male higher and had the female arch her back and kick her heel up.Love Love Love it

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

It was reported that California cows have good taste.

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

Hot Spring in the Owens River valley. I had found several hot springs in this valley some well known others not so well known. This one is very special as it has a wonderful view of Mammoth Mountain as you sit in the pool. I enjoyed this view for 3 hours this day.

"Night in June'

Created from the memory I have as a child growing up in Washington State. My brother and I were floating down the Sammamish River outside of Redmond and we were very late getting back home. We spent the better part of the evening just watching the sunset and this is my impression of that evening.

"Traveling Guitars"

"Traveling Guitars"

33"x48"

This piece was inspired by several places.

My show up at the Strawberry Music Festival, a photo of my former wife playing a guitar and by my love of music and a desire to play guitar.

This was my first art piece of this style and I really enjoyed creating it. I have been told that I at times seem unfocused in my creation of art? Meaning, I guess I create so many different styles of my art. My canned response to such comments is from Picasso.

"All children are artists, The problem is how to remain an artist once you grow up"

If you have ever watched a child finger paint you will notice that what the create never looks the same. However each piece is beautiful in it's own way

"Hush of Evening"

"Hush of Evening" is a series of work based on Sunsets and color. There will be only 10 pieces of work created for this body of work then there will be a cool down

"Shadows"

"Shadows"

I had tried some new techniques while creating "Shadows".

I wanted a slight concave surface to the piece so I weighted the back as I applied my material and let it set up so I had a less than straight surface. I then stood upon the piece so I could create some stress fractures within the art.

"Shadows is the third piece created in these hues and style.

"Life's Run

"Life's Run was created over the past three weeks.

There were times when I thought it looked much different than what i had envisioned. This past Sunday I honestly thought it was a complete disaster. It looked like a mud puddle. The colors were flat and I was just dreading the thought I had lost it. There are many elements and techniques that I had used within this piece and for it not to come out was awful. Well all my concerns are now gone this is one of my better works, there is so much depth and interest within the piece. "It is true eye candy"

I had all these concrete core samples and was

wondering what I could use them for.

Took me forever to come up with the idea

that they may be used as a table base.

This table is in an art gallery in Palo Alto, Ca.

This was a banner day for collecting recycled material. This is the basis of my art which I started 10 years ago. I was green before it was fashionable. It just seemed right to me, all this was going to end up in a landfill somewhere. Now I hope it will adorn someones home once I have turned it into a piece of art. This is Redwood some grand tree was cut down used a decking material and laid on the street for the garbage collector. Such a majestic tree deserves a second chance.
