Remember I am a Painter

I Am A Painter

Portal I    60" x 48"

And though most of my recent posts have talked and shown my jewelry designs, I want you to remember I am a painter.  Painting is my passion.  Jewelry is my addiction.  And I sometimes work with additional materials added to the canvas.

Portal II  48" x 30"

These paintings were a result of hiking in the Southern California desert, finding a fallen date palm tree, and discovering the fabulous 'fabric' that grows between the trunk and the palm frond.  

Portal III  30" x 12"

The fabric is washed, painted,  and then attached to the canvas in folds to give the work a three dimensional effect.  These paintings are all about texture, line, and color.
