Little church
12" x 12" oil on aluminum
I painted this for Judd and kay, longtime friends. Kay's mother is buried in the cemetary on a hill that overlooks this sweet old chapel.
We had dinner together last night and I gave them the painting. She told me the story of her mother's service in this chapel, and how they sang a song about coming home at last.

star wave albacore24" x 42" oil on aluminum
This painting took a while.... the wave honors japanese wood block prints of the seventeenth century, though Iv'e seen modern works using waves done in this style. It was so much fun to put my tuna here, with his moon halo, hero tuna, happy tuna, flying through the sea.

Sunset
12" x 24" oil on aluminum
Wallflowers gallery
Canby, Oregon
I painted this late last summer on a trip to our beautiful Lincoln city. I was delivering some work to Earthworks gallery there and attending the Robert Gamblin seminar at Sitka. The class was called expressionistic landscape. He called paint " emotions in a tube." I was overwhelmed and didn't want to stop painting at the end of class, so I brought my easel back to my room with me and sat on the ground next to the steps down to the beach. I painted until the sun went down, and still I wanted more. I scratched into the paint. I used colors I had never used before. I gave myself permission.
It was a wonderful experience.
