ELLIE’S DREAM (2010)
Acrylic - 40” x 30”
The vision came to me exactly as you see it here. I was thinking about the Moon Race and the clear cloudless skies of my childhood days in California. 1/3

LUMEN 5.1 (1999)
Acrylic on Canvas - 30" x 20"
The shape of the opening admitting the glare of light is somewhat like a diagram of an eye, with the circle held by the figure representing the iris. The further one goes outward the greater one can see inward.

PEACE (1993)
Oil on Canvas - 20" x 14"
This has become one of the most popular images I created for the family holiday card.
Again I find myself sharing hope for peace during the holiday season, an appeal which seems to be growing in urgency with every passing year.
WINTER ENCHANTMENT (1997)
Acrylic - 20” x 25”
At the height of the winter, the nights may stretch longer but the days are always full of wonder. That magic of possibilities is what I tried to capture in this painting. 1/3

WINTER RETURNING (1994)
Acrylic - 8 ½” x 9”
This started as a whim on a scrap of illustration board—a “leftover” before I found that designation for such small sketchy work. I was riffing with colors and not expecting anything to come from the shapes I was playing with. 1/2
