BIRDS OF ZEN original art painting Lovely birds perched on a limb



If the world was made of metal it would be a shiny place, until drops of water began to invade it's pristine armor. From shiny steal to multi hues or red,orange,and hints of blue until it's eaten away into lovely russet. Copper would lend it's self to multi hues of green and blues until it is eaten away to turn a lovely powdery teal.

In this series ZEN BIRDS I have a depicted a eroded world of of beauty where once it would have been viewed as a world of dying. I see life in it's ever changing evolutions. From seed of the tree, from egg of the bird, ore to creation metal. What man creates nature erodes leaving in it's wake a beautiful impression of color.

ZEN BIRDS honors nature.

Me





As an artist I have many ways to express myself. I may choose to sketch, paint or sculpt some times design and sew my own clothing. Each one is an expression of me, they might not always be in the same subject or meduim, but everything that comes from my mind thought, and into my hands is an expression of what my spirit is feeling.
If I where to pick the one subject that speaks to my soul it would be my art that is primitive in nature. I feel happiest when I am creating beautiful works of women and masked faces. I love creating in bold bright colors and in black and white.
Here are my favorite works that express me to the fullest.

Lucky me
