simone’s song

this is the second version of my Nina Simone painting, she is one of my art heroes.

simone’s song
24×32″ acrylic on birchwood
available ::: via etsy

black is the color is my true love’s hair
his face so soft and wondrous fair
the purest eyes and the strongest hands
i love the ground on where he stands

black is the color of my true love’s hair
oh, i love my lover and well he knows
yes, i love the ground on where he goes
and still i hope that the time will come
when he and i will be as one
black is the color of my true love’s hair

- Nina Simone


hope sun trees

what if trees were aliens, protecting us from harm with their shade, giving a gentle breeze on a warm summer day, and providing the very oxygen we breathe.

this series of 4 trees, one for each season “hope sun trees” pays homage to the power of nature and the sun.  i believe that there is hope in the rising of the sun, and when you wake up to a beautiful day with fresh trees and sunlight, you become renewed again each day.

winter, spring, summer, or fall. all you’ve got to do is call, and i’ll be there yes i will. you’ve got a friend.

elena family portrait

have finished my most recent commissioned portrait for a friend and her lovely family.

24x30" acrylic on canvas

miss elena (the beautiful woman on the left) gave me several different photos of the family members as reference. i put them together in one shot as if they had been in the same room. she wanted a modern look in all back + white with a simple frame, here is my result.
