The Visitors

I guess this painting asks the question, "what are UFOs?", or "what are aliens?"...I don't know the answer to that, and I'm not sure anyone actually does. I did see a UFO in the sky once, about 45 years ago, from the school bus. However, it was just a thing in the sky & I still don't know what it was. I did a painting of it from memory here.

The House Where Souls Grow

This is a small painting I did today that seems to say something profound on an emotional level...something about the idea of home...this one took me surprise, as I didn't know where it was heading until it just happened.

The Ruins of Babel

Here is a new painting of the Tower of Babel...I've done quite a few over the years (you can see some of them here). Also, I tried to photograph it last night, but it was too dark, so I took the underexposed image & played around with it in Photoshop (second image below).

Origin of Song

This one has a different color palette to what I normally use...I'm not sure about this one...it might become a more finished, larger piece at some point.

I haven't done any drawings recently...I may be turning my attention to that area shortly. Stay tuned...

Asleep in the World

This piece can be filed under at least 2 categories: The World Series and The Book of Creation. More on those later.

Blue

This small painting of a head entitled Blue is a piece I've been working on for almost a week & it finally came together today:

Landscape with Winged Eye

I'm still fond of Odilon Redon, apparently...

This was painted over an unsuccessful image...the eye remained from the previous painting, though altered. I often find that when a painting really isn't working, painting something else over it can fix the problem.

All the Colors of the Night

This small painting is my reflection upon the state of race relations in the US. This is intended to be an empathic image, rather than any kind of condemnation. We are all human and we are all fragile.
