New Still life Painting

I've had this table sitting out side for a couple of years. I've made direct paintings in Spring, Summer, and Fall, and Winter with snow.







I just made this big 7 x 8 foot painting in my studio.

Some other direct, plein air, or if you please site paintings!

New Batch of Pottery






I've been involved with these Anasazi designs for a while now.

I've discovered a Night, Day, Nigh,t Day cycle in them incorporating the directions of the earth and of a year, a life?

On a spinning Earth.

You can see the influence in my paintings below. I think the influence is akin to Pollock and Indian sand painting, as a performance on the ground.






It is strange how they are mainly seen as regional tourist items. To me they are elemental and as an example here are pots from the British Museum.

From 1985, and 2008

This large painting is from 1985, and two others from 2008.



Rethinking Madrid Paintings

Just thinking about painting further here?



I turned this painting on it's end and like it better although think I should keep painting now?

NY Earth In Sky




I started an Earth Painting in New Mexico, see below post.

In NY I wanted to see it upside down and made two.

I've been after seeing it spin, as in space into the stars.

Earth Day, New Painting


I finished this painting back in February. I'd been working with it for a while.

Another version has come by through making a poster for a protest March.
