Framed "In My Garden No Tulips Blow"

In My Garden No Tulips Blow
22x15
Mixed Media
Archivally Matted with a thin Dark Wood Frame
$375

This piece is mysterious, with the use of stenciling, and drawing in ink, acrylic, and prismacolor pencil. Words are mingled with the image, speaking of the wildness of the authors garden. Delicate drawings and a print top the underlying images.

Framed "All Gardening is Landscape Painting"


All Gardening is Landscape Painting
15x22
Mixed Media on Arches Textwove
Archival Mat with
Thin Dark Wood Frame
$375

Another piece from the inside work series has a purple/red/gold theme with touches of blue and black. Each division has a separate theme with a abstracted connection to nature. Glints of metallics and delicate linear touches add details. A good piece for this time of year, where the garden is keeping me out of the studio. The white mat and dark wooden frame set it off.

Framed "Here, Hope is a Memory of the Future"

Here, Hope is a Memory of the Future
15x22
Mixed Media on Arches Textwove
Abstract with words embedded
Matted and Framed
$325

This is a beautifully colorful piece. Black Sumi ink, and colored acrylic inks underlie prismacolor pencil detail and enrichment. The title and embedded words come from words in a Bernie Siegal tape, "Meditations for Peace of Mind". I would sit and listen at the end of a difficult day and be transported far away, in a type of self-hypnosis. It was a beautiful experience that helped me through a difficult time.
