"The Charm" - 30"x30" acrylic on canvas.
From Shakespeare:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Un Voyage au Coeur -- A garden hose was instrumental in creating this work. Why that title? It's a mystery, even to me. 18x36 inches, acrylic on canvas.

"Let It Be" - acrylic on 24x18 inch canvas. I did not see what it is until I stood back to contemplate what might come next. When I saw what it is, I decided to “let it be.”
