I was asked to create a set of paintings, only thing the collector desire was to use brown and sage as part of the colors. “Where the Robins Come to Rest” is part dealing with fall and the change it brings as far as things turn back to dust and spring were we see new birth. Since I live in an area of the America that it’s mostly two seasons, I chose to focus on that and leave winter as non existent, at least in my area. Rest the Robins find is similar to what we in our busy lives can search for and also find.
“Summertime at Uncle Elio’s House”
My finished piece “Summertime at Uncle Elio’s House” is in a way a small personal memorial to my uncle. He and I spent close to 30 years on and off working together. First in his auto body shop and then his eyeglass business. He was extremely influential in those years, and my work ethic is mostly based on him. I owe him a lot and I’m thankful that the Lord allowed me to have such a person in my life. But unfortunately having witnessed the change that took place in my life once I entered the kingdom of God, he made very little effort to acquire the Salvation that the Lord had for him. A very giving man always ready to give what was needed yet he died lost. 😞. Working on this piece was at times a bit heartbreaking because I know that he is not in a place of rest.
The way I’m feeling about this painting at this moment keeps me from uploading it to the galleries that represent me. I don’t think I could ever part from it. So the short answer will always be Not For Sale.
“He Calleth Them All By Their Names”
In this captivating artwork, a remarkable arrangement of colors commands the viewer’s attention. The intricate swirls meander across the surface, fostering a feeling of movement and life. The piece’s bold blue background transitions into a warm golden field, portraying a scene that is both earthy and celestial. The curvature and depth woven within the swirling patterns invite exploration, as if beckoning one into an ocean of dreams.
The fish, gracefully nestled within these currents, symbolize the unity and flow of nature. This work embodies timeless themes of connection and the intricacies of life, serving as a reminder of the delicate balance that exists within the natural world, resonating with universal emotions and experiences.
The Title of the image was inspired by Psalm 147:4
” He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.”
Layers: The Process.
My first piece in a series which has a tentative title of “Layers”. It follows a bit on my previous body of work, Changes, which dealt with an abstract view of our lives has they go from dreams, goals to reality. This series in a way will deal more with how we are, beings of multiple layers, with good, bad, happiness and sadness. As we explore our lives paths with acquire different experiences, which mold us into our present selves. I hope to do it justice.
Changes XX: But A Vapour, last piece of the Series.
Changes XX: But A Vapour.
What feelings emerge from the combination of shapes and colors in this artwork? This piece displays a meticulous blend of organic forms with geometric precision. The upper section features intricate patterns, reminiscent of natural textures, contrasting with the lower half orderly circles. These spheres cascade across the composition, their uniformity providing a soothing balance to the lively top. Observe how the shades of purple and pink unify the artwork, while hints of blue and orange weave through the patterns, crafting an engaging visual texture. Consider how the contrast between chaos and order invites exploration of the balance between spontaneity and control in your perception.
Last piece in the Series Changes, which consists of a total of 20 paintings.

Artrepreneur Pro Account
Today I signed up to be completely represented by https://artrepreneur.com/ . I have been with them for over a year using their free representation model which brings some but not allow the tools that a pro account those. I’m hopping this will lead to more exposure since many of my works are curator favorites, but by not having a pro account the exposure is a bit limited. I’m excited by the possibilities and the greater exposure to interested collectors.

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.
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.
