16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas

I painted this piece from a photograph I took while in France. We were on a magical bike ride behind The Palace of Versaille.
There were literally impressionistic scenes everywhere.

This work signifies my love for abstraction and bright colors. It also began my quest into what I call "Abstract Realism." These are compositions created from scenes of the natural world. Often with a twist and a blast of vibrant colors.

16" x 20" Acrylic and Oil Pastels on Canvas

A painting made from a trip to Alaska. Attempting Impressionism. I came across the technique to use oil pastels for detail and accents. The acrylic texture built up nicks away as I drag the soft pastel leaving tiny fragments of color.

28" x 42" Oil pastels and Ashes

I painted from an iconic photo I found many years ago. It's in Namibia, Africa. I loved the dilapidation and colors and had to paint it. I incorporated my fathers ashes into the oil paint in the sandy foreground.

This again is found in the natural world. I believe it was underground. As the painting starts to develop and I begin to see characters emerge; I then develop these characters further. The minutia of detail here is what I'm going for. The microcosm of painting.

This was a commission from my father for his golf student. My mother and father moved to Des Moines in 1961 because my father was hired as the golf professional at Wakonda. My hope is to do another golf landscape for a course such as Glenn Oaks.

Abstract realism; meaning that this exists in the natural world. I love using bright colors and creating objects or characters from what I perceive to be forming as the picture takes on a life of its own.

18" x 44" Acrylic on Canvas

Painted using a reference to ancient Mesoamerican pottery. Finding characters and faces in the midst of the painting process is why I enjoyed this picture. As well as the ancient spiritual rites it represents.

I have a life long love of painting flowers. I have also learned a technique where I will use oil pastels on top of the texture that I have built up. The pastels impart fragments of color as I drag them over the surface.

This is the largest painting I have accomplished and one of my attempts at realism. Bright colors, perspective and the contrast of light and dark make this painting work well.

This reality does exist somewhere in the natural world. Although not visible to the naked eye.

When I begin to see animals emerging from the canvass is when I feel the painting has been a success.

This was painted referencing a newly discovered Aztec Sun Stone. During the process I began finding spaces to use even more ancient symbols from all over the world. This is the kind of detail that I thrive on.

One of my best color combinations. The theme works well with the flavor. In this case I used a few characters from existing wrappers.

Lime tootsie pop marked a point where the theme takes on deeper meaning. In this case British sailors stored limes to prevent scurvy on ocean voyages. (Limeys)

Themes for the tootsie pops become more and more important. In this case I took a chance and created what I think is an excellent theme. Pomegranate being thought to be an aphrodisiac.

Inspired by my friend Stephanie (Yoga Instructor) and supporter of my art. This tootsie pop and theme is my most complex. In that the symbols used have a great amount of detail. Another one of my best of the series. This works well in every aspect, theme, colors and balance of composition.

The second in the tootsie pop series. Banana is an actual flavor sold. I found a theme I'm interested in in order to match the once exotic fruit. This is when I realized that this would be an ongoing source of work for me. The circle of colors then became very important in their tone and balance with each other. One of the most important qualities in what I find a successful tootsie pop.

The first flavor of tootsie pop that is not an actual flavor sold. I had a dream that an Indian was breaking my canvass. These were the colors of the tootsie pop in the dream. Color combinations becoming increasingly important to the success of the finished painting.

Continuing in the tootsie pop series. I wanted the color orange represented. In this case I chose blood sport as a theme. Some of the more dangerous sport activities that people enjoy.

I consider this to be one of my best color combinations and themes. Notice the A&W Root beer color scheme. As I progress in the series the characters begin to take on more detail and personality.

This is the original tootsie pop painting I did as a self portrait of sorts. Simply the things that I like to do. I did not know at the time that it would become a lifelong quest for new themes and flavors. It is based on a wrapper that I came across more than 12 years ago and that I have not seen since. Always with eight characters and three owls. The symmetrically lines in the back round have become the signature that helps make each tootsie pop unique.

This tootsie pop culminated in probably my best theme to date. The fact that I am such a music fanatic and a rock n' roll historian made it even more special. The balance in these characters in uncanny.

I portrayed them from top left down in the order of their death. All of whom died at the age of 27. As you look at it closely you will notice a striking balance. The colors also work very well here.

Inspired by my cousin John’s trip to Brazil, who informed me that the national fruit of Brazil was the acai berry.

This made for a perfect fit of theme to flavor and colors. It is a favorite because the characters do seem to encompass their vast country and culture.
