Given that my image of "Gnosis" was censored from an earlier post (not at all sure why as nudity, even with multiple figures, is not pornography) here is an image of "Sophia" where the same spiritual concept is addressed in this mixed media painting.

A bit belated from last week's Halloween at my high school, but I figured I would put my costume out there. Much love to Orville Peck, an extraordinary singer and performing artist!

Guess who's celebrating their 1st birthday this month! 🎂Turbo, our youngest Southern white rhino calf, has grown a lot this past year, gaining weight and graduating from the maternity pasture to the main pasture with his mom and half-brother, Rocket.

This drawing on rag paper is titled, "Worship". Rather than describe my own process and content for this picture, I will leave room for the viewers to apply their own narrative.

"Nimrod", named after the biblical king who built the Tower of Babel, an oil on canvas painting from 2022, addresses the unfortunate lack of communication during the COVID epidemic. Given the open process of its making, it is not a simple one for one symbolism, and is much more ambiguous in meaning.

This is a mixed media painting from that series which used paint shirts as a substrate for components using surreal, Jungian automatism. "Contrition" is an antipode to the other works too critical of my upbringing, & shows, through a hidden drawing in the pocket, what a kind and loving father I had.

This mixed media painting, Kronus, speaks to how children invariably carry the choices made by their parents, in this case; drinking. This was part of a series of works I made years ago where the content developed by the layering of automatic formal choices- very deliberately Jungian in its process.

I was so proud to take part in today's No Kings Protest in the Village of Williamsville, NY. The only way to deal with petty bullies and would-be tyrants is to stand up to them.
