18x24" 45x60cm acrylic on hardboard Island Trails

Three piece depicting the Archipelago of the Tenth Star -- a setting for on of my novels. The premise is that you have islands floating in a vast ocean of air. The small islands have no gravity, so there is no set up or down -- it simply depends on where you are standing.

New Work From 2016

After taking some time off from painting I'm back with the modest goal of paining a piece each week, at least for the winter. I have no goal other than to have fun messing around with paint. I'm looking to try new things, but mostly I'm doing old things. It's the old dog and new tricks problem. Here is what I've been up to since I last added things to this blog:

Abstract Floral 18x24" 45x60cm acrylic on hardboard

Top of the Bureau 18x24" 45x60cm acrylic on hardboard

The Still Life of African Violets 18x24" 45x60cm acrylic on hardboard

Misty Morning Along the Boulevard 18x24"45x60cm acrylic on hardboard

In addition I did some new covers for my books:
