Abandoned Farmhouse, 11/14/2025.

Watercolor.

I painted this on location in central Indiana. The farmer asked if I would show it to his mother, as she had grown up in the house. When she saw it, she cried, and I ended up letting her keep it.

Portrait of an unknown man, 11/14/2025.

Pencil study.

A sketch from 1989, approximately 8.5" x 11". I created it from a photograph I saw in a magazine, though I’m not sure who the subject is or which magazine it came from.

Ethereal, 11/12/2025.

Ball point pen.

I found this image in one of my journals from the mid-seventies. I vaguely remember working on it while playing Trivial Pursuit with friends at the Red Key Tavern in Indianapolis.

Bridge Over Pogue's Run, 11/10/2025.

Watercolor markers. Created in 2000.

The view from my upstairs window overlooks the creek, which was an important landmark for the first settlers in the 1800s and later served as a route for the Underground Railroad.

No Arms, 11/10/2025.

Ink drawing created in 2010.

2010 was a difficult year for me. Adhesive capsulitis affected both of my shoulders, and I couldn’t paint—or even put on a belt.

You can make a design that feels personal.
You can teach a kid to do it.
You can put it on a product.
Or you can just have fun.

Everyone can create art 💛🎨
I love working on the Mandalafy™ Design Tool - constantly fine-tuning it.

Have you tried it yet? It’s best on desktop.

Just added a new feature that lets you upload a photo and use it to pick your color palette.

Your image can be inspiration for your mandala design.

Vintage bikes, 11/6/2025.

48"x36" acrylic painting. Created in 2007.

I walked four blocks to the café through six inches of fresh snow and was delighted to see a row of vintage bikes parked outside. Madisonians are true hardcore bikers and devoted coffee drinkers.

Grace Note, 11/2/2025.

An older watercolor digitally enhanced.

A grace note is a musical ornamentation and not essential to the melody. My five thumbs have difficulty playing a grace note.
