"Three In One" ($60.00)

(adjusted price.....$60.00......mounted on a 1.50" depth clayboard)

Today's visual inspires me to think more deeply about the Trinity...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This glass mosaic sits on the coffee table in my studio. It describes visually what is often difficult to describe verbally. Thank you Louise Gunn for your gift of creativity and permission to use your image.

In yesterday's posting, I talked about the contemporary icons in my work. And I realized that geometric forms that represent a concept are just as viable as the realistic ones such as doors, chairs, and windows. It is always instructive to think deeply about visual communication because doing so gives the artwork passion. And passion is the blood flowing through the veins of any visual concept.

Forgive me for going off the deep end philosophically. Just as the Trinity inspires deeper thought, so does the question about why any of us create artwork. Just something to think about.

"Eye of the Beholder" ($40.00)

(adjusted price.......$40.00)


It takes much effort to create. There is often a path of obstacles one has to go over, under, or through. It is all worth it when the creation leaves the eye of the artist and goes to the eye of the beholder. (Click on image to enlarge lettering.)

Much of the inspiration for my pieces comes from contemporary icons. An icon historically means...a devotional painting or carving, usually on wood, of Christ or another Holy figure. It also means an image or statue that represents something. One of the icons I have used is the flower which represents beauty, special occasions or thinking of someone. Another favorite is chairs. They can represent relationships, or private moments of meditation. Some of my other favorites are stairs, doors, windows, trees, missions, cathedrals, church spires, fruit, etc.

It is not an uncommon thing to use contemporary icons which give a nod to realism. What has really been creative for me is packaging these icons in an abstract setting. The possibilities are endless. To sit and think about these kind of things and what you personally gravitate to is a way to really develop your artistic voice. Just something to think about.
