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.
-
WAVE (1994)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48" x 48"Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. 1/3

RETROSPECTION (2006)
Acrylic on Panel - 5" x 7"Here we see our "everywoman" seeking guidance amid the debris of lost values from an earlier age. With retrospection she will be able to find her way to the future through the gateway of the past.

LUMEN 4 (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48" X 36"“Lumen” is a word with multiple meanings (light, cavity, window) and all the paintings in this series deliberately make use of them. 1/2
-
PRUDENCE (1996)
Acrylic on Panel - 12" x 11"The classical notion of Prudence is an important theme to me, as it was to the ancient Greeks. 1/2
-
LUMEN 6 (1999)
Acrylic on Panel - 32" x 32"Looking for the way to the light, a moment of discovery at last. 1/2

CW: Artistic nudity
KAIROS (2007)
Acrylic - 24" x 36"I didn't want to just call this PRUDENCE 3, so I looked all over for a word that captured the idea of the painting and KAIROS is the only one that fit.
-
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.
-
MOON'S WINDOW (2007)
Acrylic on Panel - 7" X 5"This window was suggested by shapes at the Whitby Abbey, Yorkshire England. (Nothing to do with the painting, but Whitby is where Count Dracula landed when he arrived in England...)

WAVE (1994)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48" x 48"Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. Some people are frightened by it, some view it as peaceful and some are just struck by its abstract qualities. However, my intention was to design the wave as a Malthusian curve.
