'The Gay Kite'

This whimsical painting, on a 5"x7" canvas board, was done back in September of 2005.  There is no story to go with it, but I recently dusted it off, rephotographed it and created the pattern of 'The Gay Kite'.

While the colors are really bold, I really like the diamonds that are created in the full pattern, below.  This pattern would make great bed linens.  I could also see a tablecloth with matching napkins, a shower curtain, and wrapping paper.  This is fun!

'The God Particle'

It is about Life.  I usually name my paintings before I start.  For this one, I was trying for something dynamic, a "wow" factor.  Looking at the original in person does not have the wow factor that you see here.  I used metallic paints on this and the flash from the camera is what makes this image "pop".  So, I did achieve the wow factor, albeit digitally.  What you can't see very well with this digital image is that I also used charcoal pencil on this painting.  I particularly like the outer blue "cloud mass".

The pattern below would make nice bed linens, or perhaps a shower curtain.  Many possibilities.  Even wrapping paper.
