This drawing came out in a doodle session at church. I just went where it lead and it led me to this mysterious broken arch and bridge. Where is it? What was its purpose? What great battle occurred? Or was it merely the victim of time and no one now lives who knows it purpose?

So i did a little tweaking. never really satisfied with the color in this painting so brightened the palette a bit and finished it up

Sitting Bull

Sitting Bull the chief of the Sioux has always been one who captured my imagination and my admiration. He is and was a truly heroic figure trying to hold on to a way of life that was vanishing before his eyes. Those who actually knew him said of him he was a true gentleman, who was good humored and kind.

Going solo with little green apples

This was my very first oil painting that I didn't have any input from anybody. I feel as if I have taken a step into the unknown. I am fairly pleased with the result. The colors glow, and my composition is kind of apple-ish. The way apples tumble about on a table is one of those ready made composition things that  is a great mystery even to artists.

Tropical Heat

This was a totally unplanned, painting. I merely took a idea and without planning a thing about it created this place. It was Marghee and Joshua Craig's idea. I had this canvas that already had something on it and so the trick was to cover the old stuff and go with on with the idea. This is the result.

The Door to Somewwhere

Doors fascinate  me. Old doors rough with age can lead anywhere. To a storage area, a room in a house or ...somewhere else.

Medea was a figure in Greek Mythology. A tragic figure if not a sympathetic one. This is a very dramatic piece. The woman in the painting looks as if she is capable of anything. The method is a familiar one of using a tone of b.siena and cerulean blue.
