Painting

Seeing Faces, They’re Everywhere

Here Together, oil on canvas, 18″ x 14″

I can’t stop seeing faces in the background of brushstrokes.

The more I see, the more appear.

I can’t stop seeing faces in the asphalt as I walk to my studio.

They’re in the weave of the rugs, the towels, the walls.

I especially like them in the rock faces surrounding my mountain home.

The more I see, the more appear.

Show Time

It’s January and time for my show at Subway Gallery in Bisbee, Arizona. Spirals kept calling, while putting dots on rocks engaged unexpected creative impulses, so much so that I had to wean myself off of rocks by putting dots on canvases before continuing with a few more spirals. At the end of 2024 another vision emerged and we’ll see where that takes me in 2025. All paintings are oil on canvas, except for dots which are acrylics.

Sunrise

We are spiraling now

Milky Way beings that we are

Sometimes it’s obvious

Such as re-occurring events on similar calendar dates

But I awoke this dawn

Only to hear the cat

Crying to be let in

A tight spiral
