Hundred Acre Wood #5: Rabbit Has a Birthday Party Watercolor, ink, transfer type 24 X 19” 2023 Available via Marin Museum of Contemorary Art Auction * Since college and before, I’ve been very interested in the abstraction of maps. There is a lot to be mined there. At the start of this series, the name “Hundred Acre Wood” hopped into my head, as Winnie the Pooh was my favorite book as a child. It seemed particularly appropriate, as I believe many of us strive to recover parts of our youth and imagination as we get older and less preoccupied with “adult” obligations. This subject continues to be a very enjoyable voyage and I start thinking about what my favorite characters could be doing. The series also draws from my time painting miniatures for movies, often spaceships, where we embellished the surfaces with little markings of paint and transfer type, to give scale. I like that these experiences are voluntarily surfacing in my work.

Gambler’s Labyrinth. Watercolor, ink, gouache 24 X 20” Not Available. * For about 35 years, I worked in the entertainment business, first at Landmark Entertainment, in Los Angeles, then almost 20 years at Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas’ visual effects company. 15 of those years were in the model shop, and much of my time was spent masking and painting patterns on spaceships with tape. It was a bit like knitting for me, pretty peaceful except during a crunch. I always thought that it was good fodder for art pieces, if I ever had the time, and now I do. Not only do I like making patterns, I also like the quality of hide-and- seek. Actual physical tape may become part of future pieces if I can solve the archival problem.
The piece above, “Gambler’s Labyrinth” was exhibited in the de Young Open 2024 and is now in a private collection.

Transformation Ink, watercolor, colored pencil 28 X 36.5” Available, framed. I like to draw and paint objectively as well. Keeps the hand and eye in practice.

This piece may have an additional seventh pillow; a sculpture to sit on floor below.

Santa Barbara Woman Charcoal on paper 46 X 35.5 Ca 1989 Framed, Not available Santa Barbara Woman, above, is a very large-scale drawing, not really a sketchbook drawing. At the time, I would take essential elements out of images, such as the child with whom this woman was playing. Likewise, the sculpture “Cloaked Figure” is missing an actual body.
