Show Time
Time to bring the paintings of 2022 into the light. The above is Shine, painted in the time of candles as we approached the Solstice this December.
An old favorite, Dreaming of Change, with a couple of new paintings that started life as the unintended images found in Pareidolia.
Keeping Watch
In the Midst
In and Out of the Storm, Remembering the Body Suit, and Shamanic Beings.
Penetrating and Seed Bearer
Stepping Out, Seeker, and The Who Came Out of the Blue
It’s been an unexpected pleasure, as well as sticking to a discipline, of going with the unintended images that came forth as I prepped my canvases with color. No wonder Leonardo da Vinci recommended the Art of Pareidolia to jumpstart creativity.

Who Came Out of the Blue
Who came out of the Blue
At first their eyes
Watching in scribbles of paint
Trusting to be revealed
While I wanting to ignore
Their existence
Am committed
To revealing what I see
And so the Who
Came out of the Blue

The Question of Selkie’s Longing
There once was a seal
Who was caught sunbathing
Without her Cape of Seal Skin
She became captive to a foreign reality
Of children and earthen pleasures
A child offspring
Found the hidden once discarded
Cloak
Offering it up to the mother of desires
Who leaped with recognition
Into who she once was
Yet encountering longing
For sea and turf
It is the Longing
That defines the days
The Question of Selkie’s Longing

Leo’s Work in Progress
The Initiate’s Journey
It starts with being present…
And saying a prayer…
Coming to a boundary…
Maybe even in your sleep…
Sometimes with regret…
Or just sheer joy…
You might receive a message…
And be called…
To go beyond…
The life you knew…
It’s the quest of the Initiate’s Journey…
To awaken…
