Swimmers in the Void

This was painted roughly over an unsuccessful piece...reminds me of expressionism & also Picasso, influences of mine that haven't surfaced in a while.

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...)

Medusa in Monochrome

Another Medusa...see the header of this blog (at time of posting) for the previous one. This one was a struggle to create & anyone viewing this blog last night may have seen the earlier version, now updated with the one below.

In the Presence of Another World

I seem to be in the middle of an otherworldly series right now.

I haven't done a smallish drawing for a while...

The Wounded Man

The wounded man is a theme that recurs through my work, though it has taken different forms over the years.

A new apocalyptic image.

Tragic indeed...

File under mythology...

The Heart Still Belongs to You

Another large-ish piece on cardboard, done early in the morning. I deliberately under-drew this one, as it seemed best kept simple. The title presented itself to me as I worked—it seemed to fit the piece.

Midnight's Angel

Another new angelic painting...

This is another new painting on cardboard, done in a slightly more primitive and surreal style than usual.
