I tried Meta’s picture animator on one of my paintings. It’s a lot of fun but I guess Meta animator knows nothing about rowing😂

Another Greek myth. The story of Cupid and Psyche but the modern day version where Psyche uses her telephone to view her secret lover, instead of tallow from a candle falling on Cupid to wake him up, the phone rings.

Two paintings about the yearly visiting voyage of tribes of the Puget Sound. It was beautiful to watch and fun to paint.

I’m a sucker for Greek mythology. Here are four paintings of modern day characters on Alki Beach representing some of the main characters

A painting from a little series I did of the Seattle sculpture gardens. A Claes Oldenburg sculpture of an eraser. I titled it The Obsolete and Other Monsters. How many people these days even know what it is?

The Red Raft. Oil on canvas That special friend or relative that you wouldn’t mind being stranded on raft with, recalling summers with my sister and cousins.

Finally Out a double entendre title featuring the Olympic Mountains finally breaking free of the clouds as well as same sex couples deciding to “come out”. This was painted the year that Washington State approved marriage for same sex couples. #art #pugetsound

Just Breathe oil paint on canvas, when the beauty of the scene takes your breath away you have to paint it it and also remember to breathe. The regattas on the Puget Sound are beautiful to watch

Message From the Natives
Waking up in Alki, West Seattle I was always enchanted with these stick structures that people would create over night.

Another lamppost painting, this time with boat interest instead of human interest.

Here’s an exploration of a more recent painting “Gentle Giants” of a national park in Chile that has these centenarian trees called Coihues.
