Our recent trip to the Southwest left me inspired.The widen open spaces, the colors and other worldly landscapes this country has to offer never cease to amaze me. Working currently on a series. Painting available as prints or original artwork.

Autumn is just around the corner. This new painting was inspired by a shot taken by a friend while in Russia. How could anyone restist painting that face and expression? Available as prints or original artwork.

Atargatis is an Assyrian Godess that transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover.
Living so close to two major oceans, one should at least paint one mermaid. I am not sure if she lives in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.
Ask divers and fisherman, they should be able to tell... :-)

New Painting:

One might call this hauntingly beautiful...but I let you be the judge... I've titled it ENIGMA

Or as one viewer beautifully put it:
"It signifies life and death working together.....one can not exist without the other.....both admiring each other in mutual respect"

Just posted a new edition of my paintings video.

I will be your fire
when passions grow cold
and faces gaunt with despair
to warm your senses
like colors
of newborn Spring,
like orchids
blossoming
in air, or
whetting cries
of the heron's romance,
to dreams
oozing
from your still eyes
before dark night is dead.
~
Forbidding shadows,
lost loves appear.
How they tease the mind,
impale a fragile heart.
But I, your jinni-
as ubiquitous gods
saved ancient day
shall cloak you
in the mysteries of my might
and by my duty
keep vigil at your side
until ominous night
is safe.
~
Make me your harp!
Even
as the waters sigh.
What if my waves
are crashing
like its own.
The passion
of our tone
will wash harmonies
so sweet upon the reeds
that lost stars be seen
and forsaken winds
relinquish
their pleas.
~
The glades of gloom,
dark antipathies flee,
and love reborn
out of the dying eve.
~~
