Procreation’s Expiration Date - 2009

$1,995.00

This piece is about our limited time to live and create.  I also got comments about this piece from the Spiritual and Religious Show, but they where more along the lines of, oh yeah I know that piece.  So what does that mean?  It is good to be noticed and remembered though.  Others have said wow, that is so beautiful.  I love how it turned out and how the light plays with the clear acrylic.  It took forever to melt and shape it, but the look is terrific.  Note that the eggs have barcodes and expiration dates on them.

Rising to a Higher Power -  2009

$1795.00

This is one of the pieces that I got into the Spirituality Show, the lovely thing is that when I picked it up the curator said that I’d had a lot of comments on it.  Also she said that when her mother came to see the show that this piece made her cry.  Wow!  It absolutely made my day.

The frame was made for this piece by George Barnhill.  It has 24k gold leaf around the edge.  George is an artist, in his sculpture and his custom frame work.

I see this and I think of  how God is the most glorious artist and  scientist.  The natural world is incredible,  the way God works the laws of the universe to make beauty for us to remind us that there is something more than the muck and despair that many of us have to wade through.  The visual and auditory beauty that surrounds us in nature is evidence that we need more than practicality in our lives.  We need to be lifted up, to look up and receive hope.

Clear blue skies after a snow storm, even the bare branches are heavy with flakes. It’s amazing how God makes every thing lovely with a blanket of snow.

This painting is number 6 of a series that talks about color and space and relationship.   The paintings in this series also compare something rooted to the earth (powerlines) and something free to move about (birds).  this painting is a little different because I added the element of pot shots or holes near the birds.  I detest the complusion that some have to just shoot at things, including birds.  In a way this is like how sometimes we find ourselves taking random shots at the “real” parts of our lives.  These “real” parts to me, include family, principles, and  God.  Sometimes those radom shoots are unintentional, signified by neglect.  Sometimes it is much more obvious.  So I guess what I am saying is do your human best to take care of the most important things in your life.
