Moth Orchid is one of my most popular pieces, both as a pillow and as a fine art image.  It works on so many levels:  simplicity, composition and fit with the continued interest in yoga, meditation and Eastern spirituality.

This pillow is printed on linen and the dupioni silk is sewn with pintucks across the top and bottom and squares are sewn into the side panels to mimic a rice paper screen.

Azalea Dreams is one of my absolute favorites.  I love the ethereal quality of the piece.  It is a great piece for meditation.

I started with three photos of my orange Azalea, a rarity in and of itself.  The images were layered, filtered and altered to achieve the soft dream-like image shown here.

I printed this fine art print on acid free watercolor paper with ultra chrome inks that have been tested to resist fading for up to 100 years when framed properly.  That is with acid-free mats and UV protective glass or plexi.

I sign and number each print.  The is a limited edition of 50. 

Bradford Pear Still Life is one my early digital images.  When I created this piece I was reminded of the work of Henri Matisse and the way he created flat planes in his paintings during his Fauves period (early abstract). I used a small sampling of the color and texture of one of the Bradford Pear leaves to create the red background, filtered to achieve the painting effects and painted in the strong black tangent of the table and quilt-like surface.  This continues to be one of my favorite pieces for its strength of color, composition and remembrance of one of my favorite artists.

This Calla Lily is like a perpetual sunrise.  It is an example of the subject and the background working in tandem to create an interesting and dynamic composition.  This piece is an example of digital collage where multiple images are layered and filter to create the final image.  In this case, three photographs have been merged, filtered and layered at varying densities to acheive the final creation you see here.  Enjoy.

This is one of those right place at the right time images.  I was starting out to take my dog for her morning walk and happened to notice the absolute perfection of the morning sun shining through the bloom of this day lily.  The rest, as they say, is history.  I worked on the image to further soften the background and did some digital painting on the front petals. Then I created a hand-etched edge to the image.

Hydra is offer in a very limited edition of 10 prints.  I created this piece from one of my original photographs.  I worked on the image with multiple filters in a small format and then enlarged, cropped and combined areas to create the more abstract shapes and combinations for this triptych.

This image is printed on acid-free watercolor paper with archival inks that will resist fading for at least 100 years when framed properly.

I number and sign each print.  Limited edition of 10.

Moth Orchid is one my first creations in this new medium.  I created it by using the mouse on my computer as a drawing and carving tool to cut away the background of my photograph.  Shortly thereafter I discovered you could buy pens and tablets that plug into your computer which make painting and editing less crippling than using the ergonomically challenging mouse as a painting tool (such is the plight of the self-taught artist). I then applied filters to achieve the soft, watercolor effects shown here.

This is still one of my favorite pieces for its simplicity of design.  Some of the art patrons who have purchased this piece find it perfect for a meditation room, bedroom or living room. 

I sign and number each piece which are printed on acid-free watercolor papaer. Limited edition of 250.

Look for this image in the pillow section, printed on linen and sewn to silk or other fine fabrics.

In these larger than life images I am trying to highlight the absolute perfection and beauty that can be found in life simplest settings.  All of these images come from within 20 feet of my back door yet they open endless spectral and creative possibilities to me.  Orange sun is an abstraction of one perfect orange day lily that I just happened to catch with just the right lighting and background highlights.  I applied a variety of filters and digital hand painting to achieve the result you see here.

The three images for the triptych are printed on acid-free watercolor paper with ultra chrome inks that resist fading for up to 100 years when framed properly (with UV protective glass or plexi and acid-free mats).

It looked so shy, the way the lower petals were opening just enough for you to get a peek at the treasures hidden inside the Japanese Peony bloom.  I knew instantly it was a show stopper.  The pink, the yellow, the early Summer green, all came together make this bigger than life peony portrait one of my favorite botanicals.

Of course I had to keep this to a very limited edition of 10 to make it even more special.

It is printed on acid-free watercolor paper with archival inks and each is hand numbered and signed.

This triptych was created by layering three of my original photographs together at varying densities.  Some of the layers were filtered and digitally painted using a Wacom tablet and pen that plug into my computer.  Sections were cut and redrawn in much the same way you would create a traditional collage.

I print each piece on acid-free fine art watercolor paper with ultra chrome inks that have been tested to resist fading for up to 100 years when framed properly (UV protective glass and acid-free mats recommended).

Spring Morning is an example of photopainting.  It started as a photograph of a lovely composition of a vase of tulips against the background of a black metal chair lighted by the morning sun.  I used a subtle combination of filters to achieve the painterly effects in the image.

I print, sign and number each of the images in this limited edition of 25 on acid-free fine art watercolor paper.  The archival inks I use will resist fading for 100 years when stored or framed properly.

The Jungle is one of the first images I created.  It started as a photograph of my tiny urban backyard garden. 

Compositionally this photo reminded me of an Impressionist painting.  So I used a brush tool to go into the image and pull the pixels of color into brush strokes to achieve the desired painting effect.  I chose this method of converting the image into a painting over a simple computer filter because I prefer the control of hand applied brush strokes which gives me the flexibility to alter the direction, size and flow of the brush stroke.

And the livin is easy is a garden pond at it’s best; summer sun reflecting on colorful fish swimming in and out of the greenery of their environment.  This work is an example of a photopainting.  I created this image by using multiple filters on one of my photographs to achieve watercolor effects.

I printed this digital fine art print on acid free watercolor paper with a printer that uses archival inks that have been tested to resist fading for up to 100 years.  If you are planning to display this work of art where it will be exposed to direct sunlight you should use UV protective glass or Plexiglas.

Blue’s Spirit is one of my award winning pieces.  It is one of my first ventures into digital collage.  In fact, I created it before I knew what a digital collage was. The photographs used to create Blue’s Spirit were unexceptional at best.  The real art in this piece came to life as I pushed the color of one image inverted the color of the other, layered the two and used a variety of filters to achieve the batik-like watercolor effects shown here.

I consider this piece to be an example of the evolution of my Asian inspired work.  The fish in my pond are always a strong source of inspiration and fill me with a sense of calm.  This piece is a melding of three separate photos that have been layered, filtered and merged to create By the Light of the Moon.  The fish appear to be dancing whether or not it is to this childhood song will remain their secret.

The fish in my pond are always a strong source of inspiration and fill me with a sense of calm.  This piece is a melding of three separate photos that have been layered, filtered and merged to create Dragonfish. The flow of the seven fish and smoky feel of the water reminds me of the dragon dance often used during Chinese New Year celebrations.

This piece is a melding of three separate photos that have been layered, filtered and manipulated to create Eye of the Needle.  The fish are creating a trinity effect and the shadows on the water create what appears to be the eye of a needle that the shadow figure of one fish is passing through. 

The fish in my pond are always a strong source of inspiration and fill me with a sense of calm.  The fan tails are particularly graceful and provide a great deal of inspiration with their flips and curves.  This digital collage is a merging of several of my original photographs that I have layered and manipulated to create the final work of art you see here.

 Beargrass Creek I was created from one of my original photographs that I have painted into on the computer.  The process is more complicated than I can explain here but basically, I am pulling the pixels of color around with a coarse brush tool to create the brush strokes.  Once I finish painting the piece I create a duplicate layer that is desaturated, embossed and merged with the color layer to highlight the brush strokes that have been created.  I prefer the control of creating my own brush strokes to achieve these oil painting effects because I feel the weight, direction and style of the brush strokes all play important roles in the final work of art.

This is the third of three images I created when we were in one of those rare Fall seasons when the Redbud and Bradford Pear tree leaves were at their peak color at the same time.  I'd love to see that happen again so I could add to this series but it didn't happen last fall and the long periods of drought this summer and early fall are not likely to help my quest this year.

I was always taught to look straight ahead and hold my shoulders straight when I walked.  And there\'s no arguing with the fact that it\'s better for your back and posture to walk that way.  But sometimes it really pays to look down, or just let your eyes wander, when you\'re walking.  Especially when you on a relaxing autumn stroll and there's a chance you might find a treasure like this.

There are times when Nature gives you gifts you have to hurry just to grab hold of.  This morning was one of those gifts.  With every click of the camera the beauty of the mist playing with the morning light slowly faded until the beauty of the moment was gone.  This image is one of a series of images captured in that brief moment.

The Divine in Nature” is a triptych of a rubber tree leaf unfurling; one perfect leaf with perfect lighting, surrounded by other perfect leaves.  Needless to say, I haven’t found that same level of perfection on that same plant since, even though I still have the plant positioned in the same place each day of the summer, every year since this piece was created.  But then impermanence is part of the divine in nature.

I printed this digital fine art print on acid free watercolor paper with a printer that uses pigment inks that have been tested to resist fading for up to 100 years.  It is float mounted to 8 ply acid-free museum board and then the surface is coated with UV protective coating and polyacrylic for further protection.  The edges of the white paper are hand painted to coincide with the colors in the photo.

It is a spectacular piece, even if I do say so myself.

I named this piece to reflect the natural occurance captured here, one water lily is waning (decreasing, to flow out) while the other is waxing (increasing, growing toward full developement).  While the terms waxing and waning are more common with the moon, capturing two water lilies in perfect timing is such a rare occurance for me this term is only proper way to describe this magnificent event.

Nature’s Pulpit is one of my digital sepia photographs.  I like to photograph day lilies at unusual angles and, as in this case, use unusual cropping.  I have always found more divinity in nature than in my limited life experiences with organized religion.  The shape of the petals in this particular day lily remind me of the ornate pulpits in Victorian churchs in England.

Star of the Silent Screen is one of my digital sepia photographs.  It is one of my favorite subjects, water lilies, in warm brown tones reminiscent of the traditional photographic sepia tones I crated in the 70’s.  Nature’s dramatic lighting adds to the romantic and nostalgic feel of this image.

Georgia II is a photograph of the water lilies and fish in my ornamental pond.  The fish were being particularly photogenenic that day, following my every move.  They were churning the water around the lily so much the flower started to sway as if the wind were blowing.

Twilight Pond is one of the first images where I started painting into my photos with a coarse brush tool to give the action and life of an oil painting to the image.  It has taken quite a bit of practice to get the hang of matching the right brush stroke with the image.  You might not think that matters much but believe me it makes all the difference in the world in the flow and feel of the final piece.

Van Gogh’s Starry Night was the inspiration for the swirling brush strokes in this piece.  I feel the concentric circles are perfect with the water lily leaves as well as the pond water.  They draw you into the depths of this calming scene.

When I was creating this photograph of this perfect water lily in my pond, the fish were swimming toward me and churning the water at such a pace it looked like they were shaking the water lily to get my attention.  This image had one or two small dots that needed retouching, otherwise the image here is as I saw it through the camera lens.  Printing on the soft texture of the cotton fine art watercolor paper gives the image a muted look that I find appealing for this subject matter.
