Nocturne

This new painting is one of several that have the title, "Nocturne". This is not so much recycling an idea as taking it & finding new ways to interpret it.

The Supplicant

I've done at least one piece of this same title before...I find that I revisit ideas from time to time, always in the hope of finding something new in them.

Lost in the Coils of Primavera

A new ink drawing of Primavera...I was always fascinated by the way Leonardo etc. (Botticelli & Raphael, for example) incorporated coils, spirals and other geometric forms into organic drawings...here is one of mine...

The Afternoon of a Faun, 1992

An ink drawing from 1992, back when I lived in Paris. I don't think I've photographed this one before. It's a flawed piece...the proportions are way off...but it has something I like, so here it is.

The Boyhood of the Treeman

Another drawing in the continuing saga of the Treeman, which is at least partially inspired by Bosch's version...

Drowning in a Sea of Worlds

This was an almost-finished drawing from 2009 that I've been looking at for a while. Today I took it out & did some more work to it, to an extent that I now consider it finished.

Leda with the Swan-Like Neck

And, whilst in a mythological mood (see posting below), here is a new Leda:

Narcissus with the Pale Eyes

A new ink drawing for the ongoing, occasional Narcissus series, done in a kind of neoclassical (?) manner...

Far Beyond Human

This was a loose drawing of a head that I did some years ago. Today, I took it out again and finished it.

Far Beyond Human, 2013, brush & ink on paper, 24" x 19".

Mother Earth

A small drawing from back in 2003—I'm not sure if this has been uploaded before—in any event, this is a larger & better scan.

Angel on Overload

As the title might suggest, this is a densely drawn image. The original drawing was erased over with white acrylic paint, and the newer version was drawn over that in ink.
