In Dreams, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
Kitty!
This sleeping feline is floating among the stars, at least in its dreams. The paper glows through a bright white where the cat is outlined, and the sky itself has swirls of black, blue, and violet all through it, showing through stars out into the infinite. Perfect for a nap!

Blue-Green 1

Blue-Green 1, 4″x8″ watercolor on paper, $250.
I was having a lot of Rothko feelings when I painted this, and I love it.
The deep deep blue and mineral green are filled with texture and detail that belies their tiny size. The various shades that make up the blue are especially prone to catching the light and showing you something new every time you look.

Still Death
Thursday, April 4th, 2024
Still Death, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
It’s like a still life, but eerie! Little creepy doll fingers poke their shiny green flesh up out of the rust-streaked soil, while the cracked head is helpless to do anything but watch. Bats fly in the on the sulphur winds and
The whole tiny painting is the size of a postcard, perfect to hide in a bookshelf or niche for extra spook points.

Sowing
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024
Sowing, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper, $250.
This abstract has echoes of my old, old planetary paintings, but it’s also got the same mood as my Growth series, just from the other side — all those sent-away seeds are finding a place on the blood-red planet just waiting to be sown.
The painting is on a thick, deliciously textured handmade paper to add amazing detail, and the seed-stars shine with a subtle green.

Consuming Sunlight

Consuming Sunlight, 12″x12″ acrylic ink on paper, $450.
An unusually large painting for me, this one is also set in the daytime instead of the middle of the night. Weird!
This corvid is trying to wrap his beak around something far too large and abstract for it, as the sun shines through the tree branches, turning them red-gold. In the detail, you can see real sunlight shining off the bird, and the tangle of winter-bare sticks in the middle of the tree.

The Reaching Tree

The Reaching Tree, 5″x7″ watercolor on paper
It’s a tree of a different color! Deep violet-black and slightly glittery, this amethyst paint uses real minerals to create gorgeous textures. The moon has a little extra shine of its own, as it should, but the painting is otherwise entirely monochrome.
The tree reaches into the sky, always seeking something in the way of trees. Below it, the figure has more hands than seems strictly warranted, reaching just as the tree is, though possibly not for the same thing.
Just in case, perhaps stay out of arms’ reach. If you can figure out how long that is, anyway.

Above, you can see the way the figure’s ghostly arms reach and reach. Is one of them reaching for you? Well, you can keep it safely behind glass in a frame, should you wish to.

District of the Small Gods

District of the Small Gods, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper
This thickly textured paper is porous and absorbent, but brushed tend to skip over the deep valleys in the page and leave fascinating voids in the wash.
A cat-shaped temple holds center court in this strange alien district, with other small gods represented by their own odd architectures. Is the building made of pointy things a god of war or merely one of pointy things? Does the the shape on top of the spire represent a blind eye, or an all-seeing one?
What small gods do you think reside here, waiting for their small offerings?

Above, you can see thee way the light glows over and through the Temple of the Cat. Below, the art is properly encased in a frame, ready to bring strange delight to a shelf or wall.
