I tried Meta’s picture animator on one of my paintings. It’s a lot of fun but I guess Meta animator knows nothing about rowing😂

Another Greek myth. The story of Cupid and Psyche but the modern day version where Psyche uses her telephone to view her secret lover, instead of tallow from a candle falling on Cupid to wake him up, the phone rings.

Two paintings about the yearly visiting voyage of tribes of the Puget Sound. It was beautiful to watch and fun to paint.

A painting from a little series I did of the Seattle sculpture gardens. A Claes Oldenburg sculpture of an eraser. I titled it The Obsolete and Other Monsters. How many people these days even know what it is?

Finally Out a double entendre title featuring the Olympic Mountains finally breaking free of the clouds as well as same sex couples deciding to “come out”. This was painted the year that Washington State approved marriage for same sex couples. #art #pugetsound

Just Breathe oil paint on canvas, when the beauty of the scene takes your breath away you have to paint it it and also remember to breathe. The regattas on the Puget Sound are beautiful to watch

When I first moved to Seattle I bought a little water paint set while waiting for my art supplies to arrive from Michigan. I would amuse myself painting people who walked by my window.

Low Tide. When the tide is out people go out as far as they can looking for hidden things or daring for the water to come back in. It always seems a little surreal.
