A REMINDER !

 I have taken a hiatus from studio for several months as I change residence. Hope to be back at work by January 2025! Thanks for keeping an eye on me!

Ozymandias & Other Large Works on Paper

 Ozymandias - A very large work on paper (approx 5x7ft.).

Here is P.B. Shelley's poem:

 

I met a traveler from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away."

 

 

You may take everything away from me, but you will never capture my soul..

The Birth of Mercury

Narcissus & how he became St. Narcissus

The Birth of Venus or, She unfolded in Simultaneity

Two works a long time evolving in development

I began this large oil painting (4x5 ft.) in 2011 and could never quite complete it. Every so often I would take it from its storage space and review it. Sometimes I would make sketches and jot down ideas, but never resume. Finally in January 2024 I resumed working on it and finished...13 years later.

Arrival at the Font of Wisdom.

I produced this large work on paper during my sabbatical in North Carolina, summer of 2022. I very much liked it in its initial stages but knew that I had yet to bring it to completion, so I set it aside. I did have an original sketch but could never bring myself to add the figure of the soul flying upward into the sky-scape. In January of 2024 I finished it.
