Size: 18”x24” Medium: Oil on Stretched Canvas Unframed BLUE PASSAGE was inspired by seeing an image of the blue streets of Morocco.

Size: 16”x20” Medium: Oil on Stretched Canvas Unframed I had painted a young girls Soul Portrait when she was around 5 of 6 years, and it was clear to me, she saw herself as an adult and maybe had an under standing that she is just visiting here and she is here to make a difference! I took more photos of her when she was a few years older and she easily posed herself. I represented this feeling of distance, by painting the image of Planet Earth off in the distance. I also felt a Native American influence I represented as a feather in her hair, blowing in the wind. -
Size: 16”x20” Medium: Oil on Stretched Canvas Unframed My Dad’s cousin Freddie had passed away. He lived out in the country and had a huge garden of hollyhocks. When Freddie passed, I knew the hollyhocks would be cut down, so I got my niece who was six years old at the time, to come with me to take some photos of those hollyhocks. I took photos of her against the hollyhocks and the green fence... kind of late in the day. When I had almost finished the painting, my niece said, “put wings on me”. Next day a large iridescent green dragonfly was lying on the railing of the porch... like someone had placed it there for me. -

We are basically, renting our time here on Mother Earth and as such, have a responsibility and a sacred vow to take care of her with love and respect. -

Lastly, I placed the image of Chinese rooftops showing faintly off in the distance under a full moon. -
