The Alchemist's Dream

Another small monochrome acrylic painting, painted over an earlier & similar image. Also, I did a digital remix of this one, presented below.

Alive Inside the Egg / The Arrival of the Alchemist

A new large-ish monochrome painting on cardboard. It occurs to me that achemy is a good metaphor for creating art, or maybe creating art is a good metaphor for alchemy...

The Return of the Alchemist

I'm not sure that he ever really went away...but here he is again...

The Alchemist

This is not the first time I've used this title...however, the figure shrouded in white sitting by a pool is kind of a new motif (if by way of Böcklin...)

The Alchemist Observes & The Alchemist Bleach'd

2 versions of the same small drawing, one digitally altered:

The Alchemist Observes, 2011, brush & ink on a scrap of cardboard, 7.75" x 7" approx.

The Alchemist Bleach'd, digitally altered version of the image above.

The Alchemist

One of several pieces with the same (or similar) title. The point being, I suppose, that one wants the alchemy — the magic — to occur, at least a little bit. Otherwise, one just has a good (or otherwise) drawing...

Boy Alchemist

This was a sketch of a head that I started a week or two ago, & have, over time, added more bits & pieces...
