| LATEST WORK |

| "Above it all" My travel ability temporarily limited, I am drawing from my own experiences to create a fictional scene that I hope conveys what I have seen and felt when able to be out in the high country. Painting is mixed media; watercolor, acrylic, and rice paper collage size 19 x 24" |

| "New Beginnings" In my imagination, out of the decaying dead wood, new growth is starting. The colorful shapes could be flowers although no effort was made to depict a particular species. Painting is mixed media, acrylic and collaged rice papers on a masonite panel size 24" x 28" |
| USING PHOTOSHOP TO COMPOSE A PAINTING |





| The Bodie store |
| This truck was there the last time we visited Bodie. It seemed too clean and colorful for my painting. |
| Truck (somewhat rustier) and building combined. Composite photos of the hillside and sky added and the color adjusted to suit the scene. |
| From the above photo composition, the scene was rendered in line in Photoshop and printed on glossy photo paper |
| A small painted comprehensive sketch, acrylic paint added on top of the glossy line print to test some additional color ideas and rework the patterns in the foreground. Size 8 1/2" x 11" |


| Christmas Card 2009 |
| I thought it would be an interesting project to turn my summer painting "Eternal Race" into a winter one using Photoshop. Some elements had to be "cut and pasted" into slightly different positions in order to fit the card format. |
