An old pastel from years ago when I was experimenting, now in a private collection.
Cow Eyes
Pastel on Wallis paper, 18 x 12”, Sept 2010I liked the quality of this painting of a cow’s eye. It could have used some interest in the corners, however, it became a bull’s eye - pun intended - a target focal point, so I darkened the corners in and said good enough.
A great birthday...
Poppy...
Doing some new things and taking a direction I’m happy with in my art. Pushing limits and materials to see what we can accomplish.

The New Math ...
What pattern the Fibonacci sequence of grief?
Each loss summed by previous two.
Old wives caution ~ beware ~ death comes in threes!
Sorrow intensified by exponent of repetition.
Crones cackle, “practice makes perfect.”
Single tear raised to power of never ending,
hologram for life and meaning
traces a course of alchemical healing down skin.
Eternal fractals
beauty of pattern
spiral on and on.
