<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b>Love, hence the heart, is the simple message here. Most importantly love for our environment. Take care of the forests and the green growth, tend to the oceans - don't pollute their waters. It's our world and we are burning it up. Do small things everyday to help make a change - if everyone else did, the results would be gigantic. This piece is painted on recycled found wood. </div>

<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b>Where do I start with this guy?<br />
<b> </b>Randall Terry is an anti-abortionist, the founder of Operation Rescue.<br />
He disowned his own son after he came out as being gay.<br />
He voiced public approval of the murder of George Tiller, who was shot in the head by an anti-abortion activist. Tiller was a much needed doctor at an abortion clinic, one of the few good souls willing to save women's lives.<br />
I periodically get fed up with religious hypocrites and bigots and the general misogyny that abounds in our world, and art is a great place for me to vent angry feelings. To all those who disagree with this - when Terry can get pregnant, he may have some say in these matters... Until then, I hope he and his kind, get their just desserts.<br />

<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b>This piece is a large mixed media canvas, playing around with a looser, freer style and subject. Cotton topped trees reflect her big cotton hair which doubles as a cloud. The vintage gown is composed of collaged layers of transparent paper and paint. The young woman is relishing her natural world, transported by the trees and the clouds to a psychedelic serenity and spiritual awakening. She is a young woman experiencing oneness and mindfulness, growing aware and becoming her own goddess.<br />
As the youth of today might say - "It is baked". </div>

<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b>The unquestionable cuteness of the hedgehog was the inspiration behind this piece. Also the desire to paint a lighter, more whimsical piece, an homage to our natural world. Placing an animal in a human setting or role helps to connect us with our environment in a wonderful and empathetic way. This little guy put on his top hat and got out his magic carpet to sail around the sun.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In central Asia and parts of Iran, the hedgehog is associated with agricultural abundance, fertility and the gift of fire. In these cultures it is considered a </span>solar power animal<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">, and is strongly connected to the energy and vitality of the sun. This may be further understood when we think of the hedgehog's splayed spikes look much like the </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">spanning rays of the sun.</strong></div>

<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5;">This is another piece for my ongoing Geisha series. <i>(See the definition below for this theme's inspiration.) </i>I wanted to show a modern day version of the Geisha contrasted with the old and Harajuku girls were the perfect juxtaposition. The face is loosely based on the singer Bjork, she has an impish quality which has always called to me. Not to mention, I love her music and persona.</span></div>

<em style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Geisha – The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning “art” and 者 (sha) meaning “person” or “doer”. The most literal translation of geisha into English would be “artist,” “performing artist,” or “artisan.”</em></div>

<b>The Story Behind The Art: </b>Recently, I was laid up with a broken shoulder after falling off the treadmill at the gym (that's what I get for trying to stay in shape!). So I was lying around on pain meds, unable to do much other than watch TV. I decided to give the show <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/" target="_blank">Dexter</a></i> a try and instantly got hooked by the performances of Michael C. Hall, watching all the seasons in a marathon. He plays Dexter, a forensic scientist by day and a "good" serial killer by night - one that only kills other murderers. I got my sketchbook out and had to capture this great character who is lovable bad and vigilante good. Thanks for taking those suckers out of our world, Dex!</div>

<b style="line-height: 1.5;">The Story Behind The Art: </b>This piece is a step towards a more free and abstracted style for me. It was painted rather quickly and inspired by the movie <i>Sabrina </i>(which was playing in the background...). The character is the daughter of a chauffeur and as a teenager she would climb up in a tree and gaze longingly on the festivities of the wealthy owners of the estate she lived on. Her dreams come true at one point in the film and she is invited to one of the gala parties...</div>

<b style="line-height: 1.5;">The Story Behind The Art: </b>So many times in life we all lose hope and experience loved ones and friends in need of hope. Hope - to survive in the face of illness, to love again after a broken heart, to achieve our passions and goals in the face of rejection, to escape poverty or discrimination, or just to keep on keepin' on...</div>

A number of people in my life have died from cancer and having the hope to continue on through pain and sadness, is a humbling thing to witness.</div>

This artwork was inspired by an <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/171619" target="_blank">Emily Dickinson poem</a> which ignited imagery of the freedom hope can give one - like birds escaping from a cage or a spirit from human form. </div>

I've been doing some simpler watercolor portraits, while on the road and as commissions. So I thought I would share a few here...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Want A Portrait?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to commission a portrait of someone, let me know. I love doing these! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My rates are super reasonable and depends on size or complexity. All I need is a few photographs, which you can send via email. Or if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, we can meet up somewhere to talk. I also do more complex oil portraits, which would run a bit more...</div>
