“Pyrus,” an homage to the golden pear apple tree in my back year. Each year it has more lichen and fewer pears. And each fall I marvel at the pattern of how it’s leaves turn in the fall, one branch at a time, startling yellow leaves against the gray green blur of morning.

This piece is a new media combination of painting using water soluble printmaking ink, and photography, overlaid and digitally blended. I used my Sony - Alpha 7R III and a fixed Zeiss lens to capture the fine detail of the leaves and textures so the piece can live at large scale. Link in bio to my shop>Botanical Prints.

Today’s abstract field waiting for the next move

Today’s abstract field waiting for the next movement. Loving this intimate scale. Working on a series on 9x11 watercolor paper. There is nothing like #fabriano #hotpresswatercolorpaper — It feels like a conversation with a friend with really good carpets and furniture: you sit down and run your hands over the upholstery while they aren’t looking. Surface really matters.

“The Train in the Distance, (Seen Closely).” (

“The Train in the Distance, (Seen Closely).” (#FlatFileFriday, details below) From a series of pieces about veils and obstructions, this original photo was shot through the window of a train, then printed by my Epson onto a layer of interference mixed metallic painted on Multimedia Artboard. It is hard to capture the iridescence of the paint as it changes from each angle. It is offered today with its companion, created in a different #alternativeprocess called gel alcohol transfer. This process first prints the image to a special film that releases when coated with gel alcohol. The film is placed face down onto a sheet of Arches or Rives soaked with alcohol and the then burnished, a delicate process that takes about half an hour. This one has a granular quality I liked that felt like the air in the trainyard.⁣
⁣
#FlatFileFriday details: Each image is 9 x 12”, and they come unframed with the irregular borders of the paper or board as photographed. The First image is on interference paint (#1) and the second is on paper (#2). Available for 50% off as part of my weekly cyber studio sale . $150 each plus tax and shipping, If interested DM me.⁣
