Paintings

Here are some paintings from the past three years. Elements drawn from Southwestern cultures have remained prominent, though my serious work has been drifting back toward the abstraction that I'm better known for. As my hearing deteriorated it became more and more difficult for me to edit the RGAA "The Palette", so I'm no longer involved in that. Even attending the RGAA monthly meetings is an exercise in futility, so I'm working more independently than at any time since moving to Albuquerque.


"The Potter" (2006)
15.5X19.5 Oil on Panel

This painting was actually the first in the series. It now hangs in our upstairs office. Want it? $300 will put it on your wall.













"Moon Maiden 1" (2006)
11X14 Oil on Panel

I'm fascinated by nocturnal scenes, and mystery of the night. The moon and the jug resting on the maiden's round head with the hairdo of the Indian maiden are all tied together. There is more intense color and the shadows don't fall where they should in a realistic depiction. This was intended to underscore the unreality and dream-like quality of the painting. This is one of my favorites, and so the $500 asking price seems reasonable to me.








"Moon Maiden 2" (2006)
16X20 Oil on canvas

A maiden went to the river to fetch a pail of water, and caught sight of the moon's reflection. She fell in love, and determined to be forever with her lover grabbed hold of it and was carried away. They never found the body, and this painting is priced at $400










My intention is to post several of jpgs of paintings from the 2006-2008 period until we all either get tired of the process, or I've posted all of the images I have available. The prices do not include the costs of shipping and handling, so if you want a painting expect to pay a bit over the listed prices.
