I’ve been working on quite a few projects lately, and this painting is one of them. At this point, it’s still a work in progress.

Monday

Over the last few days, I haven been working on this painting. I still have quite a bit left to do on this one, including adding gold leaf and finishing the hair.
Meanwhile, waiting in the wings is the next project that I will be working on “Sekmet”.

Jewelry Muse

I have spent the last couple of days creating some new pieces of jewelry for my new PayPal Store. Needless to say my jewelry muse is in the house and hard at work. lol

Horus and The Crow

After many days of very hot weather it finally cooled down today and that makes me a happy camper.
I’ve been playing around with this piece for a couple of days. The inspiration for it came partly from watching crows in our yard and partly from a dream I had about a crow reading aloud from [...]

When Angels Dream

I wanted to be productive today and paint something so I created the abstract painting below. I am still working on this one.
I need to work some more on the angels and the background. I am thinking of  adding some touches of ink and metallic paint to spice it up a bit.

Stones Tell Stories

There are many myths about stones and one of my favorites comes from the Seneca Indian Tribe. It’s about the origin of stories.
A few years ago, our neighbors created a dry stream bed that mimics a natural watercourse and I have often admired these stones on my daily walk.
I love the colors and texture of [...]

Spirit Pouch

I spent the afternoon playing around in the studio making a couple of spirit pouches. I make these with watercolor paper, acrylic paint and ink.
