As a builder and an artist it's fun to create something that's never been seen before. We know every child is an artist. Maybe an artist is just a child that refuses to give up his crayons. And if my paintings can add a touch of mystery and a splash of color to your home, we both win.
Northern Lights Across the Bay Series is another color combination of very dark blue and violet lit up by gold and reflected across the water. Playing the negatives spaces off the reflections adds to the mystery. I finished it with a thick crystal clear epoxy to give it depth and to give the colors more pop. It is a 49"x24" acrylic and epoxy on wood. It would look best on a light colored wall.
My first choice for finishing my paintings is a thick crystal clear epoxy because it really makes the colors pop, but these are one of a kind pieces of artwork and not something mass produced in some sterile factory overseas. I will ship, but I would rather you looked it over in person than have it shipped and be unhappy that it has a couple of air bubbles or a ripple in the finish. Prices shown don't include shipping or sales tax.

Blessed to be born and raised in small town Nebraska. After serving in the Army Infantry, I attended then Kearney State College graduating in 1976 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in bronze casting and printmaking. My intent was to continue my education in architecture, but I had an opportunity to learn from a master home builder and found I had a passion for building things. When the housing market went through a rough stretch, I became a letter carrier retiring after 30 years of service. I continued designing and building homes during this time. I also built a line of Craftsman style furniture while pursuing other artistic outlets including glass carving, stained glass and painting. Now retired I enjoy creating furniture and art work in my woodshop/studio.
