Changes XVII: Summer’s End

Golden tendrils weave through a rich purple expanse, crafting a narrative that resonates with the mysteries of a forgotten forest. This piece calls viewers to a realm where each swirl and leaf flutters between the realms of reality and dream. The manipulation of space is engaging, as the golden vines cascade downward, meeting a lower world of softly scattered shapes, suggesting an organic connection between above and below. It's as if the  artwork itself breathes, with each component finding its place in the delicate balance of nature. Does this composition reflect the unseen connections within us, inviting an exploration of our own roots and branches?

Changes XVI: Life Is But A Vapour.

New work in progress.

New work in progress, part of the series Changes. The series was started back in early 2025. It will consist of 20 pieces of similar size: 18×24 or 20×24. At this moment I’m down to 4 pieces to complete the series.
Changes comes from an initial inspiration I had about how our life might start out with many goals and dreams of success, fame, riches or even a simple life style. With time some of us achieve many of the goals while others might not. But is about the process, the journey which we strive in. Back in 1993 I embarked on a second set of goals and dreams. While in the first part of my life my main goal was to achieve fame and wealth. That change in 93’ drew me to see life differently and to reevaluate my dreams and goals. Thanks to God my life turned for the best once I let the Lord be my dream, my goal and my guide. To be continued…

Changes XV

My latest Piece from the Series Changes.

Changes XV

How do color and form shape our awareness of space? This artwork investigates spatial dynamics through its bold application of color and geometric patterns. The ascending arrangement of purple ovals against a warm orange backdrop creates an impression of movement and depth. Each shape seems to rise from the base, signifying an expanding horizon. The texture and repetition prompt viewers into a distinct exploration of spatial relationships, inviting thoughts on order and chaos. This piece challenges our understanding of dimensionality and inspires considerations on how art can influence our perception of space and form.

Another piece of the Changes Series. There will be a total of 20 in the series with similar dimensions.

Change V: Continuing the Changes Series.

Part of the Changes Series. In this captivating piece, an enchanting cosmic spectacle unfolds across a field of deep purples and soft lavenders. The delicate circles seem to pulse and breathe, offering a display of celestial wonder. At first glance, tranquility envelops the viewer, yet the arrangement challenges initial perceptions. What appears as a soothing array of shapes may reveal something deeper upon closer inspection, hinting at the vastness of space and the intricacy of the unseen universe. The bold contrast of colors creates a memorable visual experience, inviting one to linger and explore the complexity woven into every detail. This artwork promises a blend of calm and curiosity, leaving a lasting impression.

Changes XIII: All Thy Waves And Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me.

In this captivating artwork, a subtle gradient of black and green circles evolves into a compelling field of blue, creating an intricate pattern reminiscent of cascading waves. Each dot appears deliberately placed, inviting the observer into a space where geometric precision meets organic fluidity. The lower section, with its meticulous swirl patterns, conveys a feeling of movement, suggesting the undulating nature of the ocean. This piece reflects the historical fascination with pointillism, where individual dots are masterfully arranged to form a cohesive narrative. Paying homage to both natural elements and artistic tradition, the artwork immerses the viewer in a thoughtful exploration of form and color.

Continuation of the Series "Changes" This piece has a subtitle of "All Thy Waves And All Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me. Inspired in part by Psalm 42 and Matthew 14.
Changes XIII All Thy Waves And Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me.

“Changes IX”

It was initially inspired by the observance of a utility van with a business signed pasted to the door. As I observed the sign I noticed that it had worn out with the original words and image faded. My mind was taken to the initial time when the sign had been placed on the vehicle and along with the dreams of the owner looking to fulfill them through his business. The condition of the sign was showing the wear of years of pushing to fulfill the goals, dreams and aspirations of self employment along with the freedom and also the responsibilities and burdens that it brings.

This train of thoughts took me to my own life situations and those that many of us passing through this amazing thing called life go through. With these thoughts I set out to work on a series of pieces that would express this concept of starting with dreams and either seeing them fulfill or come to naught.

Below is a short video showing the finished painting. Also here is a link to other finished similar pieces.

Changes

Changes was selected by ADC Fine Art in Cincinnati, Ohio for their up coming Radiance Exhibition!!!

Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.
