Summer Watercolor and Collage 2014

 Ascent/Descent

Watercolor and Gouache on Paper, 30 x 22"

May 2014

 This painting is inspired by Renaissance paintings of angels lifting certain individuals to heaven while escorting others to hell. The leaves are from my rosemary and ivy plants. I feel that the two subjects speak to each other.

More drawings of houseplants (aloe vera and sage) pasted over a New York Times Magazine feature of the beautiful Loulou Van Damme, a designer and hotelier residing in India. What would I give to stay with her.

 Christ Healing the Sick

A rendition of Christ healing the sick in a religious bulletin called Magnificat. This piece reminds us that Jesus loved and forgave all, even the diseased, promiscuous and rejects of society.
