Sardines

Sardines, encaustic, 36x48, 2013
Reflections on my obsession with the head and the brain. Visual metaphors of feelings. Here's a new piece using encaustics and oil pastels. Looking back over the last 20 years I see  a constant theme.

Self-Portrait, encaustic, mixed media, 1996


This is my first encaustic. Originally I had painted brains spilling out of my head. Maybe I should have left them there.

Brooding, photo watercolor, 1990



Another self-portrait when I was making clay sculptures, photographing them and painting them with watercolors. A time when I felt the weight of the world upon me.
