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.

We’ll be waiting for you.
I like the formality of a show.
The design of the show.
The mating of the groups and pairs.
To question “is this art”? To know that this is art.
Black on Black 2 calls to mind waterlilies in the dark.
I once or twice restrained myself from licking a brushstroke on Monet’s waterlilies. In fact, I had to walk away.
Conception
It’s meditative to be on the walls, with Dreaming of Change.
The Question of Selkie’s Longing
Her Cape Awaiting
Which Way To Be
Currently showing at Subway Gallery
43 Brewery Avenue, Bisbee Arizona
January 8th through February 6th, 2022
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

She’s a gentle woman
happy to help
slow to anger
softly
seeing
as you are
How do you like my new hat?
Hmmm, it’s a bit small.
Best not to spoil her joy.
Could be just what she needs.
Is there a problem?
What problem?
Chill, ladies.
It’s not a problem. It’s a hat.
It’s that time.
Will you be okay?
You know we’re here for you.
I was hoping you would be.
Oh babe, how could we not be?
How’s it going?
South, man. Like I’m melting…
Is this an age thing?
My age thing is just fine.
Except when I lose the lingo…
Did you hear about Raul?
What about him?
I heard he left town.
Why would he do that?
He wanted something that wasn’t here.
Would you like to play a game?
What do you have in mind?
We could make it up as we go along.
Those drive me bananas!
You already are!!
Shhhhh, Bernie’s sleeping…
Just deal the cards.
