I love Newburyport and have the distinct pleasure of being near enough to go there to just wander around. On the road by the water there is this wonderful building just covered with vines I always notice. I painted it one day, just wanting to remember it. It's a permanent ink line drawing with watercolor on top.  I really like the very casualy done finished product.

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.

Thin dark wood frame

$250

A combination of drawing, painting, printing and love for the color copper sets this piece apart from most of my other work and makes people stop in their tracks when they see it for the first time. It is done of the extremely strong Arches Textwove paper that can take anything.

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.

I absolutely love this piece. It is one of a series that I occasionally do, and I will show these pieces for a few days. I call them "inside work". This piece combines nature drawing with tissue collage, acrylic inks, and colored pencil. Though the effect is abstract, it actually is quite realistic if you know what you are looking at.
