This was an experiment in how what I think about while painting influences the image. I was thinking about my mom and how wonderful she is.

I painted this mural as a commission. It was a fun learning experience and I thoroughly enjoyed working on the much larger sized image. It required me to step way back to view my work in progress, reminding me of day long passed when I used to paint theater sets for community theater, back when I lived in North and Central Texas.

I wrote The Declaration of Independence into a flag using different colors of ink and a quill. In order to get it just right it took a number of attempts.
Here I am at an art show in a Gallery in Fort Worth where my Flag was on display.

Experience
Experience
Watercolor on Paper
2008
The idea behind this painting is to show what experience would look like visually. When trying to come up with the visual metaphor, I struggled for a while. It wasn't until I was looking at the hands of an older loved had the idea of using hands. Whenever I came across friends and family I would look at their hands...and they all told the story of different kinds of experience. Some were soft, some were wrinkled, some were calloused, etc... I knew that I had found my metaphor.
