I am adding a very old painting in the hands of my second wife, who I am grateful to know.  It is a small very detailed painting with a theme I still study.

The title is "Emergence"

My paintings "Irises" and "Dafodils" both lost when our house burnt to the ground in the Cedar Fire, in Julian, California in 2003.

I have been painting with Liquitex for along time.  Here is a picture of tubes bought in the early 70s that I bought for .90 cents.

I modified this painting from little nudges from someone special.

My newest painting called; "Mother & Child in a Robe of Many Colors"   I believe this will be the next to last in this series.

"Stromatolites" or the "Oxygen Revolution" inspired by Andrew H. Knoll's book "Life on a Young Planet"

The sky was red and full of carbon dioxide, shallow seas, and then a young life form, Stromatolites, grew in these oceans and begun to breath carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen....skies became blue.  This small painting is in honor of that revolution.  It is on display now at the Museum of the Living Artist in Balboa Park.

The other painting on display at the Museum of the Living Artist at Balboa Park;

This is "Tree Spirit" which will be on display most of July, 2013.
