Behind the Sky

Behind The Sky – Acrylic/canvas – 36 x 48 inches.

A woman sleeps as the tide rolls in. A tall, pale plant sprouts from the sand against the backdrop of a transparent hillside. Oh yes, a red sky. Have I forgotten anything?

(Several people have inquired about the current whereabouts of this painting. I sold it to a film set designer many years ago, and the last time I saw it was in Hollywood. Since then the trail has grown cold.)

Dancing Light Creek

Dancing Light Creek – Acrylic/canvas – 31 x 40 inches.

There we were, Chris and I, a couple of dudes, wandering around in a wild part of Arizona. By and by we discovered a stream. I was going to call this painting, “Somewhere Near Nowhere,” but “Dancing Light Creek” seemed a better title because that’s what the light was doing.

Portrait of a Dancer

Portrait of a Dancer – Oil on canvas – 32 x 40 inches.

This image is a portrait of my niece Ruth, painted in what used to be my studio on the Gran Via in Valencia, Spain. We sense that she’s a pensive young woman, but we don’t know her thoughts. We also can’t share the thoughts of the cat. We suspect, however, that the cat — being a cat — knows whatever there is to know.
