Chilled with Red

Beauty stirs desire like nothing else. It reaches into the soul and makes a draw on the longings of the heart. And that is what really lies behind this piece...the eyes engage you directly, but warmly. She is inviting you to know your own soul...to actually engage the desires of your heart...and awaken possibilities.

Reflection

Reflection and the abstract...the mystery. They work...they make room for each other...the mystery of thought is a beautiful thing...desire is concealed...and there it should stay.

Cool Reflections.JPG

Cool Reflections

Painted on Yupo paper. Cool reflections...a piece that enables interpretation to enlarge possibility. What is being reflected...what is she looking at...what's the vision...the dream. We don't know...we are not meant to know...and that is cool!

Contemplation

We are designed to be caught up into something so much greater than ourselves. And that is to contemplate...to fix the gaze and worship...and in worship the soul is engaged and quieted without distraction.

Elegant with Blue

They say the eyes are the window to the soul and here they really speak..they engage me in a way that is not easy to express...desire that goes deep. And that is the way it is meant to be...you cannot verbalize everything...and nor should you...desire is often times too precious for that.
