The following may not be portfolio pieces, but they are the pieces leading up to greater works, and may be mentioned here:

Right: Ambitus, 10x16" acrylic on board

Winter 2007











To Fall (dreosan) 4x8' (Three stages shown here: Sketch, Color Prep, and Last) acrylic on board.

note:
I enjoyed the prep work and underlayings of this one more than the finished product... the board will be sliced soon to make new (smaller) paintings.

Solecism I-V Series 2x4' acrylic on board
landscape and portrait orientations

This piece began with about 20 figures, then slowly, in the fashion of Lucien Bernhard, a turn of the century poster designer, the figures were reduced until only the necessary fish remained.





Solecism II
Autumn 2006

Name derrived from soloikismos, a latin term, which means 'to speak incorrectly'.
Commonly interpreted as a breach of good manners; a piece of incorrect behavior.
