Two small studies of Acrylic Mixed Media (acrylics, pencil, pastel) on paper, 11x15 in.

Quick, intuitive paint application in a limited palette with spontaneous mark making, I was trying to just be in the moment and going with what happened on the paper.

Mixed Media (acrylic, charcoal, pastel) on canvas, 30x30 in.

Generally, I think the most important thing about any image is contrast. But then there are those days when it’s about nothing else but depth.

Acrylic on cradled wood, 12x12 in.

Acrylics on canvas, 20x24 in.

Indistinguishable. Hazy. Distorted reflections of things you cannot see. And the only trail of breadcrumbs guiding you on your way is a thin red line through the mist.

Egypt Dancing
Egypt Dancing

Acrylics on canvas, 20x24 in.

This is a movement study of a model’s dancing moves. The model’s name is Egypt. So there isn’t some sort of subliminal message in the title, although it does sound pretty cool.
