  • Winged Horse

    Doing some work for my friend’s charity….here’s a sketch of a winged horse. It’s being revised to have a little girl on the back, and lettering :Jessica Rekos, Angel of Sandy Hook. It’s a start.

  • Another interest in healing

    I’m starting on a new healing project. A friend and her daughter are starting a new project. The story goes like this: My friend’s daughter was giving riding lessons to a young girl named Jessica. Unfortunately, she was killed in the Newtown, CT massacre. So, in her memory, we are raising funds to give riding…

  • In the interest of healing

    I am sending some pictures to a charity “Anchored to Mental Health”, a mental health awareness organization. I may have posted these before, but here’s a reprise. This is a donation….figure art that is sitting around in boxes is not doing anyone any good.

  • Pocket Paradise WIP

    Here’s the first step in the large “Pocket Paradise”. I have the flag done, but realize, I don’t have the stripes a consistent width.

In reality, the foreground is actually a cemetery.…

  • No Place Like Home…..

    I’ve started work on the large “Freedom Tower”, but so far, don’t really have enough to show a work in progress. So here’s something I did a little earlier.  It’s one of the Paradise series.  It’s an interior, for I know some for some people, paradise is their own home.  That is, especially if it…

  • An Urban Paradise

    I have concentrated on natural beauty as paradise. The truth is, though, some of us have found our paradise in a big city. What can be paradise among t he noise, bad smells, crowds and dirt? It’s a matter of being part of a community. For some of us, that’s paradise.. Here I am featuring…

  • Heaven
