Texture and color Friday 13th

had some time in the rain and much more time inside exploring some new pieces and experimenting with processes I haven’t combined before.... all around fun. I hope you enjoy some visual thoughts this Friday.

Mountainscapes at Shelton Civic Center

525 W Cota St, Shelton, WA 98584

I have five Mountainscapes from my recycled Landscapes showing at Shelton Civic Center until the end of May, please stop by and check out my work as well as that of three other artists.

A little abdonement makes me happy.

Last weekend I received a gift, a place to explore that’s been left behind. Thank you universe .

going through old images...Tottenham Cemetery circa 1999

back in pre 2000 days I was using a camera that had seen better days. it had a light leak one fix did not completely fix. sometimes it created beautiful images sometimes it just fucked things up.

This is one image in which the camera's faults worked for me in my opinion.

This is from the cemetery next to Bruce Castle in Tottenham which I lived near. I visited frequently it was one of the cooler things in Tottenham which at the time was a place where people did not choose to live. We could afford to live there, I have always been next to the place people want to love, the bit to the side that hasn't seen the gleam of modern consumerism and gentrification hit it.

Mixed media Painting with Rock companion

created at the same time, without intent to be a pairing of rock and painting but ended up so. maybe every painting needs a rock friend?

Unity at Bemis

This weekend the Seattle Art Fair comes to town. In addition to this huge experience the art community about town is sharing a lot of other great work, perhaps slightly more representative of Seattle Artists. One such event you may like to check out in the hot hot heat is Unity at Bemis.

I have two pieces of work in this show both Mountainscapes, one small one large.

the best thing? well that would be that 50% percent of the sales goes to Facing Homeslessness, the other fifty goes to artist, both groups in need and appreciative of your support.
