PATIENCE (1996)
Acrylic on Panel - 13” x 10 ½”

All the virtues represented in my series of the same name are ones that seem to me to be in short supply today. 1/2

#personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fineart #virtues

Out of the water slender outcrops of stone stand earthy bronze in contrast to blue skies barely marked with traces of cloud. Attached to the top one of the thicker shards of pitted, textured stone is an intact spiral of an ammonite fossil. Lazing across the upper curve of the ridged shell, a woman raises her head to catch golden rays of light and an ocean breeze that carries the long locks of her sunflower blonde hair. The bare curve of her hip suggests that she's not wearing anything.

GENTLENESS (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 11" x 13"

Not a classical Virtue, but based on observing my young son with our aging family cat. It's how I hope we'll care for all the earth's creatures.

A pair of ammonite fossils rests against a natural levee of cracked stone in the immediate foreground left. There a boy cradles a gray tabby cat in his arms as he lays back against the larger ammonite with his eyes closed. His lowered leg rests on the curve of the second fossil. Notably in the autumnal setting, he wears only black shorts and a white t-shirt. Echoes of other ammonite fossils can be seen in stone above and behind. A trail of russet leaves over damp rock leads into the graying distance as thin trees stand skeletal against hazy skies.
