It is a dot of sand in the middle of the ocean but it is one of my favorite places especially if you can camp. The magic of that place happens when the boat leaves.
“Light"
Gift to a friend.
“The Black Dog Waits"
This painting came to me after a conversation with a friend of mine Dr. Hayes. He was telling me that Hemingway referred to his depression as the Black dog. I have a Black dog and know what it means. I am keeping my in a boat but the water is shallow.
“Tortuga”
- Tryptic, acrylic and epoxy. I love paintings that are like puzzles.
Throwing light
The Koi at Kermits always is a nice piece of pie and relax watching the fish.
The Mover Of Obstacles
This painting is inspired by a fellow artist, friend, my Yoga teacher. I photographed her hands at an opening years ago. She had these amazing rings on her hands and I really loved her hands and was painting hands at the time. I downloaded this photo of her hands and forgot about it. I found it the other day. The same day my friend that I speak of posted a painting she had done of Ganesh asking him to “COME ON !”. He is the mover of obstacles. When you look past her hands you see an elephant coming out of the darkness which is absolutely inspired by this whole virus experience and what we need right now. This painting happened because of a string of incidents that coincided. Thank you Marlene Koenig for inspiring me !

Filipe
This is a friend from Portugal. He likes to dive off of high places. This painting is based on an image he sent me. I loved the explosion of water behind him, and the perspective of him coming right out at you. . This is the my second painting in isolation during the corona virus. I am working on paintings in my apartment and in some ways the isolation is an interesting journey, but I get to do it with my dog Theo who is good company.
“Filipe” - This is painting two in isolation for the corona virus. This is a painting of a friend who likes to jump off of high places. He sent me this image and I wanted to paint a version of it. I was drawn to the light of the explosion of water behind him. The perspective of him coming right at you. The isolation is in some ways of having me explore colors, richness, trying new things and not caring what happens.
This Little Piggy Swam Home
This is my first painting in isolation since isolation for me which started March 15th. This journey started out working on paintings I have wanted to do in watercolor on full sheets of paper 20x30. I am also going thru many of my old paintings and the Hand Series has resparked interest for me. I swam with this pig a handful of years ago in the Exumas. It was an amazing experience which I will never forget.
