  • 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.

  • Freedom Tower in Spring….the finish

  • Freedom Tower, work in progress 2

    I’ve gotten the foreground of “Freedom Tower” pretty much done.  I may go back and look at it with a fresh, but I think that’s it. While I was doing this, it occurred to me that visual arts are a lot like music.  You’ve got compositions, rhythms, and harmonies.  I tried, here, to get a…

  • Freedom Tower, 1st work in progress
