The Eternal Love of our Universe

 Often we think of the sun as male, the moon as female. In reality, sometimes her sun is his moon, and she gives him light. The conjunction of their love is incredible. Acrylic on 10x12 canvas board.

The Tree Frog

 Oh to see one of these cute frogs hanging in a lush tree would be such a treat. Frogs represent fertility, properity, wealth and transformation. Delicate animals with such a sweet song. M Graham watercolor on cotton paper.

The Raven

 I will never forget the eerie feeling of seeing a murder of ravens in February 2020 at dawn from my office window. There were hundreds, if not thousands, that flew past the the 9th story in downtown Portland. Little did I realize that the COVID pandemic was just about to begin...

The Raven is painted with M. Graham watercolors on cotton paper.

The Conch

 For such a simple painting, this one was a challenge. I used an actual conch shell I have to use as a model, but getting the texture down was tricky. I did use a gray ink outline but used watercolors as much as possible for the highlights and shading. Final size is 9x12 on Arches paper.

Gnome and Butterfly

 Another watercolor painting on paper featuring a mystical being. This one was another fun one featuring a sweet little gnome making friends with a monarch perched on a giant mushroom. 

Eye Candy

 Definitely feeling fun when I painted this one. It's acrylic on 5x7 canvas board and features the evil eye on gumballs. 

El Capitan in watercolor

 Painted for a family member who recently visited and posted this as a photo, I had to copy it in watercolor on paper. I resisted using a black ink outline, and I'm pleased with the outcome!
