Calmness in the Process

There are certain moments in my life that provide me with an exceptional time to create. It might seem strange to some to hear that I was up until 3:00 a.m. working on a piece. But after raising a family, providing for them, instructing them, and most importantly making sure that their spiritual needs were met, I found myself looking for any time along that could be used to create. So through out the years, 31 years of marriage and counting, I learned that the 10:00pm to the wee hours of the night/morning provided the best time for my creative juices to work. It was in these late times that I was able to find Calmness in the Process. It was in these times when the air was still, the background noise ceased and I could then focus on creating. This latest piece Changes XVIII: Winter’s Glow, is almost finished. After I filmed this short video last night I continued to add to it, and now I’m very close to being done both with this piece and the Series Changes. Where am I going next? Not sure, a few things are in mind, but no commitment yet on any.

Changes XVII: Summer’s End

Golden tendrils weave through a rich purple expanse, crafting a narrative that resonates with the mysteries of a forgotten forest. This piece calls viewers to a realm where each swirl and leaf flutters between the realms of reality and dream. The manipulation of space is engaging, as the golden vines cascade downward, meeting a lower world of softly scattered shapes, suggesting an organic connection between above and below. It's as if the artwork itself breathes, with each component finding its place in the delicate balance of nature. Does this composition reflect the unseen connections within us, inviting an exploration of our own roots and branches?

Changes XVI: Life Is But A Vapour.

New work in progress.

New work in progress, part of the series Changes. The series was started back in early 2025. It will consist of 20 pieces of similar size: 18×24 or 20×24. At this moment I’m down to 4 pieces to complete the series.
Changes comes from an initial inspiration I had about how our life might start out with many goals and dreams of success, fame, riches or even a simple life style. With time some of us achieve many of the goals while others might not. But is about the process, the journey which we strive in. Back in 1993 I embarked on a second set of goals and dreams. While in the first part of my life my main goal was to achieve fame and wealth. That change in 93’ drew me to see life differently and to reevaluate my dreams and goals. Thanks to God my life turned for the best once I let the Lord be my dream, my goal and my guide. To be continued…

How do color and form shape our awareness of space? This artwork investigates spatial dynamics through its bold application of color and geometric patterns. The ascending arrangement of purple ovals against a warm orange backdrop creates an impression of movement and depth. Each shape seems to rise from the base, signifying an expanding horizon. The texture and repetition prompt viewers into a distinct exploration of spatial relationships, inviting thoughts on order and chaos. This piece challenges our understanding of dimensionality and inspires considerations on how art can influence our perception of space and form.

Another piece of the Changes Series. There will be a total of 20 in the series with similar dimensions.

Description of one of the paintings:

A cascade of geometric forms unfolds across the surface, as squares in shades ranging from deep magenta to bright saffron create a compelling gradient. This composition encourages observers to explore the relationship of color and shape, reflecting abstract expressionism’s hallmark exploration of form. The textured field, subtly shifting its hue, forms a basis for the playful distribution of squares, each with a distinctive hue and size, creating an elaborate arrangement. What narratives will future viewers uncover within this convergence of elements? This work exemplifies the pursuit of visual complexity and the endless possibilities of abstraction.

I wonder which piece this is describing?
