'Duo'

This painting, 11" x 14" on canvas board is not this dark in its' original form, but I darkened it for the use as a pattern because I felt like it made a more dynamic reproduction.

This pattern would look nice as bed linens, or perhaps a fabric shower curtain, or the upholstery on the seat of a chair.  Gift-wrapping paper and/or designer accent pillows would also make good uses of this pattern.  Limitless possibilities

'Ray and Violet'

This painting has a lot of inspiration behind it.  It is definitely about electricity, the human spirit, deities, and more.  I would not call this a masterpiece, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like the outcome and I really like the patterns that this image creates.

The possibilities are almost limitless for the use of these patterns.  The pattern above could be used on bed linens, while one of the patterns below could be used for the bedspread or comforter and pillow cases and shams.  The pattern above would also make nice gift wrapping paper.

Other purposes for uses of these patterns could be furniture upholstery, decorator pillows, curtains, wallpaper, bath robes, shirts, skirts, jackets, vests, neckties, and so much more.

'Winter to Spring'

I painted this 16" x 20" canvas purposefully to be a pattern.  I titled it 'Winter to Spring' because I was tired of winter and we were seeing the first signs of spring appear.

As with most of Empire Patterns, the possibilities of uses is almost unlimited.  Bed linens, tablecloths and napkins, upholstery, scarves, throw pillows, wallpaper, gift-wrapping paper, and much more.

'The Seamstress'

This acrylic painting is on a 24" x 30" canvas.  'The Seamstress' was inspired by a dream I had about a wonderful woman that I knew.  One of her many talents was sewing, hence, the seamstress.  This painting is meant to represent an eye looking through the thread-hole of a needle.

This is one of my most favorite patterns in all of my vast collection.  It is elegant, classical, soothing, casual, and enchanting, all at the same time.  The pattern below would make beautiful bed linens, or a shower curtain.  There are many other uses for this pattern, as well.  Upholstery, table cloths and napkins, fabric for clothing, curtains, wallpaper, wrapping paper, and more.

'Yellow Ball Tower'

This painting was inspired by the sun and the moon.  That is not obvious, other than the yellow ball that represents both, but the yellow color represents more the sun than the moon.  The inspiration was created when the sun and the moon where in the sky at the same time.  This is painted on a small canvvas, 8" x 10".

I really like the pattern that is created by 'Yellow Ball Tower'.  The possibilites for its' uses are almost endless.

Some of the possible uses of this pattern are:  bed linens, window treatments, shower curtains, wallpaper, furniture upholstery, wrapping paper, scarf, necktie, tablecloth, napkins, placemats, picnic blanket, clothing, and more.

'Encapsulation'

I painted this canvas to specifically be a pattern.  There is nothing more to say about it.

But, wow, what a nice pattern it made.  I could see this as bed linens, window curtains, a tablecloth or picnic blanket, a necktie or scarf, upholstery, plus many more uses.  If the pattern above were used as bed linens and bedspread or comforter, the pattern below could be used as the pillow cases or shams.  The same could be used for a tablecloth, above, with the pattern below serving as napkins.  The pattern below would make nice placemats.  Although I think the above pattern is too busy for an entire room, it could be used as wallpaper for an accent wall.

As I have said many times before, this like most other EmpirePatterns, the possibilities are almost endless.

'Enchanted'

This painting went on to become something with more vibrant colors, but I photgraphed it at this stage and liked the pattern that it created.

Again, as with many of my Empire Patterns, the possibilities for uses with this one are almost limitless.  This would make a fabulous shower curtain.  Bed linens, window curtains, scarf, necktie, designer pillows, tablecloth (with matching napkins), wrapping paper, wallpaper, upholstery, and much more.

'Fairies'

This painting was inspired by a dream I had about a "fairy village".  The fairies lived in a tiny village in a forest under mushrooms, which served as their homes.  I don't particularly believe in fairies, nor do I consider myself a fan of fairy stories, but my dream was what I would consider charming and endearing, so I wanted to paint a painting to acknowledge the experience.  The painting represents an abstract view of the fairies under a mushroom.  The fairies are represented by the blue.  The original acrylic painting is on a 16" x 20" canvas.

I really like this pattern a lot.  This would make a great robe.  Other applications could be a tablecloth with matching napkins, shower curtain, bed linens, wall paper, designer pillows, computer bag, scarf, necktie, and so much more.

'Fireball'

I painted several paintings that were inspired by balls of fire.  I'm not sure exactly what the inspiration came from, but part of the influence was cosmic happenings-- think meteor showers.  This original painting is on a wood panel that is approximately 25" x 47".  I think this painting is a little bit silly, but I really, really like the pattern that is created by this piece of artwork.

If this pattern were to be reproduced exactly as it is above, I think it would make a fantastic shower curtain.  Or how about a  picnic blanket with matching napkins?  Some other possibilities are a table runner, placemats, napkins, bed linens, window curtains, upholstery for chair cushions, decorator pillows, and maybe even wallpaper. So many possibilities.

'The Coppersmith'

This was meant to represent a coppersmith's glove.  The original painting was painted with copper paint which mostly appears as red in the translation to digital form.  But it still looks nice, in my opinion.

I realize that this pattern has a spider-like appearance, as I have been told many times, but I think it would make very bold bed linens, especially if it was done with a silk/cotton blend.  This pattern would also make an absolutely fabulous shower curtain.  Other applications could be upholstery, wallpaper, scarves, tablet computer cover, and much more.
