New Image Design (Inspired by Melissa)
I created this image for the Greenwood Tree Community 2021 School Fundraising Auction, to support their themes of honoring the community and working together. Drawing metaphor from the collective working nature of honey bees, the concept of Melissas come from pre and ancient Greek culture, and represent feminine figures in leadership roles who serve the…

Garden Design Paintings, further notes
Why am I designing gardens? As I grow older I want to spend more and more time outdoors, and realize how important nature, beauty and relaxation are in our hectic lives. Gardens are living sculptures, and I love how each season yields different wonders to behold. There are so many living things available for…

Secret Garden Design
Even though I created this garden design painting in the states, it’s fitting I post about it now in Chile, initially inspired by the dreamy courtyard gardens at Huilquilemu – a large Spanish era colonial villa southeast of Santiago used for community festivals and currently under restoration by the local university. The garden in Chile…

Wish Painting (Nasturtium Flower)
Leading from the heart, and remembering to do so in challenging times. A wish for the health of the forests, and for all animals that they may have access to humane living conditions . Little wish squiggles of other beautiful things. Topaz, olivine, and other precious gems. A friend took pictures of me in recumbent…

Gratitude

Process, Dove and Rooster

A continued focus on flowers, trees and public parks while I am here in Chile. The following watercolors are observations on the peaceful vibe always felt in the well attended plazas. I also continue fantasizing about park designs which I feel would be like 3-D painting but with living things. The Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine are…

Another set for In the Park series. Early evening at Cal Anderson, the late summer shadows long and an equal number of people walking or lounging. The same two guys were working out proudly and a group towards the left of Cal Anderson 3 assembled to smoke copious amounts of weed and another guy rolled…

I produced only four live paintings during the Cascadia festival last weekend- three standing from the dance platform at the River Stage looking in various directions, and one of my friend napping in the hot tent at our campsite. There were simply too many fascinating beautiful things to focus on at this world class gathering…
