"You Told Me To Wait For You": new mixed media work

"You Told Me To Wait For You" is a 48"x 36" mixed media (acrylic, ink, collage, oil varnish wash) work on canvas that is part of a larger series exploring horses, figures, relationships, and aloneness. This horse seemed to me to be waiting for someone or something. Somehow, I'm reminded of the play: "Waiting For Godot" when I think of waiting. Literary references come up for me often when I'm painting.

In this work, I began with an oil varnish wash of hansa yellow orange and from there used inks, acrylics, and painted collage pieces to create the composition.

"Ethereal"

I just completed this mixed media piece, titled "Ethereal" (24" x 24" on board). This is part of a new series I am working on called "The Horse: A Guide To The Unknown". I am interested in the ways in which horses connect us to ourselves, to spirit, to the unspoken, and to the unknown. I am exploring the concept of inner and outer worlds, as well, through this work.

I used inks, acrylics, and collage on this piece.
