The first Celtic Tree of Life art I created was in rectangular format and completed in 2004. While I still really love that first design, I had been inspired for a while to create a new Tree of Life design in a circle/square format and finally finished it recently! It has a single curvy line of knotwork 'branches' above a knotwork trunk and root system, with a spiral at the heart of it all. The...

I thought I'd try a little negative watercolor painting. I drew in the shapes and left the trees white and painted the cold, wintery background in blues and greens - the original is 14x10 on 140 lb hot press paper: Click on the painting above to get framed or unframed prints, and cards, via Imagekind! I've also made this painting available on things in my shop like ceramic ornaments, ...
A few days ago, we brought home three choice pumpkins from a local farmer's stand to carve! Haven't done that in ages, but the inside goo and seeds are just as slimey as I remembered - hah! Here are the results of our knife-wielding activities - John's on the left, our friend Tom's in the middle, and my 'vampire jack-o-lantern' on the right, lit from within with tea lights: Also, my jack-o-...
I'm really appreciating the leaves around here in the Catskills. (It's quite a variety compared to the ubiquitousness of pointy Live Oak Tree leaves we had on the west coast.) This first one I call Autumn twilight because of all the dark red 'late fall' colors, and the waning afternoon light: In stark contrast, here's a photo of a large heart-shaped leaf glowing with light: And ...
This is just a fun little watercolor I painted with an autumn/leaf/celtic motif. I wanted the colors to be a sort of soft mid-tone without high contrast, and a lot of longer overlapping lines, with the moon as the underlying focal point. The original is 14"x10" on 140 lb. hot pressed watercolor paper. Click either of the images above to purchase either a framed or unframed print, ...
Apparently, there's no such thing as a northern reticulated chipmunk (a la Simpsons) - tv lied! *shock* But we do have regular ol' chipmunks here! I caught a couple of these little guys being photogenic one morning - one in profile and one with a huge nut stuffed in his mouth! I have the latter one as my desktop wallpaper because it makes me laugh every time I look at it. And, as you can see, I ...
Hey, it turns out September is Lymphoma Awareness Month! Well, let me tell you - I'M AWARE OF LYMPHOMA K THX!!! *wry grin* Violet is the color for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I am definitely getting a t-shirt from the Hopes & Dreams store... I like this one: I am also definitely going to do a painting for Hodgkin's Lymphoma Awareness. I was going to do a Breast Cancer Awareness painting for ...
I wanted to get back into the swing of painting again after all the weeks of packing and moving and unpacking, so I started with just a fun abstract. Here it is framed and matted: Click the image above to get framed or unframed prints through my gallery at Imagekind. It's also available on fun stuff in my gift shop - click on any of the images below to see all the products:...
(Warning - a number of obvious and overdone bungee jokes litter this post! Apologies - I couldn't stop myself.) Don't you just love bungee cords? And bungee cords like to express their love for you as well, if you let them! Click on the image above for a print of this photo - available framed or unframed... a modern and masculine image of a love that will really hold things together in ...
