Sitting around waiting for the phone to ring ain't my cup of tea. When I don't have a commission I do 4 things. First, I ride my bicycle and after that I pull weeds in the yard and then I panic and finally,,, I start making some work and feel right. Here are some new Monotypes that I created over the last couple days. There is some motive behind the pieces. I was invited to have a booth at the Lake Tahoe GreenFEST a couple of weeks ago and I went for it. It was much more fun than you would have thought so I signed up for "Truckee Thursday" the following week. Truckee was good so I made these pieces for this Thursday. If you are interested in any of these please let me know.

This series of work was loosely inspired by the 1992 song, "Blood of Eden" by Peter Gabriel and produced by Daniel Lanois. But, I found this while looking for it, a favorite, enjoy.

Love the "hair" piece! I just browsed your children's book art... lovely! Reminds me of one of my favorites: Etienne Delessert.

The backs are my picks. The unknown quality of the women adds a subtle mystique.

Inspiring art, and obviously inspired.
