INSPIRATION: My inspiration is the moon - its varied shapes, its glow, that silvery, white/yellow color, it romance , and, of course that face! The face of the man in the moon! ! wondered where the moon went when he was off duty. It turns out he goes home - just like you and I !do! I pictured him chilling at home relaxing with his pets and flowers,about to partake of his breakfast - croissants, jam and a coffee. I picked a croissant for his meal. He loves croissants because their chape reminds him of himself when he has waxed into his quarter-moon crescent self. Of course, his home has no ceilings nor does it have doors. He just drops down at dawn when his work is done and floats back up into that beautiful starry night when it begins. I hope the VIEWERS are as enchanted by Moon's Day Off as I was creating it. All we have to do is look up and out to be thrilled by the magic of the night sky, the stars and the light of the silvery moon. TECHNICAL MATTERS: I used acrylic paint for the many layers of this painting. In the last layer I pressed a few skeleton leaves into the paint around the flowers for texture and then varnished the whole piece. To achieve the moon's glow, I painted transference over the face and around the head. Transference, a paint medium invented by da Vinci, causes the color of the glow to change when looked at from different directions

As a painter, I am an explorer, uncovering, recording and rearranging the beauty of the natural world, as well as the beauty of human beings. I select and distill the very essence of my subject, harmony between nature and humanity, sometimes combining the two. This symbiosis makes the finished work even more beautiful than either of its constituents alone. When you first visit my fantasy world, you will notice a lot of extraordinary things going on in my paintings. For instance, I might substitute a bird for a hat, or a butterfly for a bowtie. These unusual substitutions function as symbols and provide subtle clues and playful suggestions about my work. The shapes of birds and hats, or butterflies and bowties, are so similar that viewers never even question the replacements. I pick the substitutes because they fit graphically and visually. But it is more than that. We as humans fit with nature. We fit together so well, in fact, that I am able to paint a natural object–a butterfly–in place of the bowtie–and viewers can see this as truth. My world will refresh you with its vibrant colors, textures, and interchangeable shapes as you immerse yourself in the integration of nature and humanity. You will be at peace with yourself and at one with nature. You will experience nature in a totally new way and see beauty in places where you never before thought to look.
