Broken Home



The constructed painting of a women with raised arms is a new painting I titled 'Broken Home'. It is a painting I made especially for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence NCADV. They held a special affair at Gallery Lenfant this past Monday and I was invited to contribute a work of art to the night. The painting is about 50in.x44in. and is made out of cut wood and oil paint.

New Studio



I've been away from the computer and art the past month as I repaired one of the main studios I work out of. I had put it off as you will see from the photos for far too long. The structure is about 50 yrs old and was an old chicken coop. It had since the 70's not had a feathered guest and in 93 I used it first as storage and then as a winter studio. Other then some drywall, electrical and insulation the structure had no major improvements since the day the chickens were roosting. That all changed this past month.
This is before demolition...




and after...

Except for anew coat of paint this is the completed exterior.





The completed interior which can serve as a space for special exhibitions...
