Paintings With Soul

  Big and Little view or purchase her on my website   Big and Little, original acrylic on flat panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I have come to think of Fox as an extension of myself. In Big and Little she walks a younger version of me through the woods. This particular painting may end up getting done in a couple other versions - I continue to write and think about other variants to the storyline and what they might look like in paint. Many people have also seen siblings and parent child relationships in this piece - I try not to hammer my intentions onto anyone’s experience with the art. I fully believe that we see what we are meant to inside a piece, regardless of the artists’ intent. You can get a good look at Big and Little  on my website .

  Denial view her on my website   Denial, original acrylic on flat panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . You know how little kids screw their eyes all up when they don’t want to see something? This fox is shutting out reality and imagining a magical alternative. Who wants to join her? Denial is part of the planning I’m doing for my next online workshop, available through  Kara Bullock Art School  in a few months. In this next course I will walk students through merging Fox and Blooms in a variety of ways ( the prior one wove Bear and Landscape together ). You can get a good look at Denial  on my website .

  Impossible view her on my website Impossible, original acrylic on cradled wood panel, 36”x36”x1-1/2”, $2900 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela Impossible was so titled for that reason. She came from a well of seemingly impossible circumstances that brought me to my knees the last few weeks. There are so many bits inspiring her - the revelation of difficult truths, the rending and destruction of things held precious, the healing power of a hug, uncertain diagnoses… all just a snippet of what was on my mind as I painted. I envisioned this painting as a pile of birds inside a pile of blooms, a metaphor of mother-daughter relationships borne of a vision that arrived while at a memorial surrounded by the ancillary moms who helped raise my own now adult kids. That idea, though, apparently is for another painting - this piece started out in that direction...

  Upended view her on my website Upended, original acrylic on quatrefoil shaped wood panel, 20”x20”x1/2”, $1500 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . There’s something intriguing about these floral paintings, which are not done from real life plants, but painted from the heart. I’m starting with the idea of gesture and body language - what might a certain feeling look like in plant form - and diving in from there.  The work goes through some crazy iterations - this one was full of stretched blooms (as if they were silly putty) before settling into the rose shrub. And that dahlia idea isn’t going anywhere - if I paint it enough times (even if it gets painted over!) I’ll figure out a way to make it work. You can get a good look at Upended over  on my website . You’ll find links to zoom in close to her surface or view in a room setting (please note that the room setting option will display here a bit diffe...
