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.

I’m a sucker for Greek mythology. Here are four paintings of modern day characters on Alki Beach representing some of the main characters

Titled “Luminous” it aptly describe the sound when Seattle weather is fine.

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

Message From the Natives
Waking up in Alki, West Seattle I was always enchanted with these stick structures that people would create over night.

Another lamppost painting, this time with boat interest instead of human interest.

Here’s an exploration of a more recent painting “Gentle Giants” of a national park in Chile that has these centenarian trees called Coihues.

The Brightest Spot
My obsession with the street lamp continued. Where is your eye drawn to, the brightly lit mountains or the human figure?

Then I became obsessed with the street light that was outside of my window. Enchanted Evening. This painting then led to an animation I made named PNW Dreams (wish you were here). #art #painting #alkibeach #bonfire #streetlight @bsky.art @alkiarts.bsky.social

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.

Another painting of a place in Chile. When I was little, I used to think the lake belonged to my grandfather😂 #art #painting #lagovillarrica #lapeninsula #pucon @bsky.art @womensartbluesky.bsky.social

Something about water and the patterns it leaves behind is so mesmerizing. #lowtide #alkibeach #westseattle #art #painting @bsky.art

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.

Seattle was a huge change in my career as an artist. Living on the Puget Sound gave me an entirely different subject matter to explore.
My first painting tiled Low Tide.

So, when you have a garden, you make flower arrangements and then paint them.
