In the Renaissance, artists prepared for their masterpie
ces by sketching on colored paper, using a dark & a light colored pencil.
This is a fun technique to try. Note the stars in her hair.

Ginkgo leaves appear like little dresses. I created the singer’s dress first from sheet music, & then from ginkgo leaves. I wanted to dress her up like the way Opera singers are. Then I thought of creating a ginkgo hat for her.

This is a dance painting. The lily is symbolic of purity & new life. The dance is an expression of joy & lively freedom. I used an intense color for the red dress; “Golden quinacridone crimson”. This paint is highly pigmented and holds a full, rich shade. “The artists aim is to depict dreams, ideas, or problems in such a way that others can observe & consider them. ” M.C. Escher

I enjoy painting black women with their beautiful Afros. To me, the afro appears to be a halo when the light shines upon it. Its feeling is like a cloud.
I used sheet music for her dress. I can’t read sheet music, but I love listening to violins when painting.
This artwork is on a 16×20 canvas.
The artist calling is to inspire. The Window of Vision liberates the viewer from the mundane & opens the eyes to see in a fresh revelation.

“The Lookout” was created to demonstrate a certain mood of watchfulness & awareness.
“Watchman, what of the night?”. The Watchman said, The morning comes, & also the night. If you will inquire-inquire!! Return! Come!” Isaiah 21: 11,12.
This image resonates with many people and has been my top selling reproduction.

“Art is born when the temporary touches the eternal”
G.K. Chesterton
Awhile ago, I created n 11×14 artwork which I named “Cosmosville Spiral”; It was a fun, delightful portrayal of a swirling heavenly city.
So, I returned to that thought a few days ago & created this-“The Village of Raphael”- mainly beacause of the meaning of this name & also because I like it.
