CONSCIOUS MIND

The excitation of light and shadow is asleep! Stillness pervades all form. If consciousness demands the exercise of its limitless potential then awareness demands the light of the sacredness of all existence just as it is now!
At a deeper level there is no division between the unconsciousness and the conscious mind or spirit.

FANTASY STUDY

Fantasy art always points to the multidimensional, the simultaneous, that the physical oriented brain cannot grasp by adding or subtracting.

SWIFT

There is a mysterious intelligence spinning out unique patterns of creation moment by moment. Once created it never repeats itself.

THE FINAL DESTINY

Sooner or later, consciousness will demand its own true self,
the love of God. No person can forever run away
from this epiphany. God will find God, that is life’s innermost desire.
Here all evil and hate, all suffering and resentment will be obliterated.
Illusion is hate, fear, ignorance…and isolation.
All guilt and petty self criticism dissolves in a love and freedom that runs through everything.

JUDY

This is one of my favorite paintings. It's a portrait of my wife Judy, the love of my life.

GHOST FROM THE PAST

Here's a drawing I did of Arnold (about 33 years ago).
I met Arnold before he started his movie career. My wife and I became friends with him - he was a lot of fun! I did various promotional work for him and the painting of YELLOWHAIR THE MEDICINE MAN hangs in the Governor's office in Sacramento. I'm pretty sure it was Arnold's first fine art purchase.

SOURCE OF EFFORT

If you can find the source of your effort and your life, everything you do would please you. This is very difficult in the modern world, because it takes a mind that is quiet and composed.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING

Structural drawing deals with breaking any simple or complex object down to geometrical parts that will compose the whole form.
The awareness of negative space between the forms is important in right measurement.
The quality of line is determined by the awareness of turns and angles existing within the form.
Mastering this type of drawing allows the artist to become intimate with the thing observed.
Correctly realized, the artist and the art object become a new strong form of reality. This is energy directed with purpose and finesse…or art!

THE MIND

If you can find the source of your effort and your life, everything you do would please you. This is very difficult in the modern world, because it takes a mind that is quiet and composed.

STUDY FOR INNER WISDOM

Collaborative work

This is the second collaborative painting Chet & I are going to do - it awaits one of his mysterious, psychological beings, in the center of the painting (where the two priestesses are looking up).

A QUIET MIND

The greatest gift one gives to oneself is the ability to quiet the mind.

THE QUALITY OF BEING

Study - 12"x16"
This is a figure study for a large paining.
A mind that steps out of thought references can experience the vast quality of its being that is revealed in each glance! Here is absolute value.

THE NATURAL ABUNDANCE OF GRACE

Painting 18X24
- Deep within the forest of our quiet mind there are hidden treasures unfolding here and now! Only a mind free from the movement of sorrow and fear can sit at the center of this mysterious outrageous abundance.

GUARDIANS OF THE EARTH

Panting 19X16
Nov. 2 – Deep within the rivers of the totality of life, all forms drink and have their being in the same pure identity.
Naked and unashamed the mind of creation nourishes all there is with love. To drink from this dazzling peace is to be free from fear and isolation.

UPON THE EDGE OF A DREAM

Painting - 18"X24"
Nov 2 – Here beneath the waves of everyday thought, or consciousness, unseen possibilities play like a jester in and our of arch type symbols. Dream art or visionary art explores the multidimensional consciousness that is rarely used by our race!

CATHEDRALS OF LIGHT

Painting - 30"X36"
30X36
Nov. 3 – Judy and I often walk in a park near where we live. We are always awestruck when we see the massive trees dramatized with the young vital light of morning. These trees are to us living cathedrals holding the sacred energy of creation, exploding in a pouring out of branches and leaves, demonstrating the strength and abundance of our nature.
When the mind is truly active (not with though but with dazzling attention) one moves and has his or her being in this amazing pure totality of love, or pure identity.
