Another Animal Group

More "Journeying" animals - seeking a goal - a Journey closure in spirit.

Animal Journeys

A new series of drawings about Journeys - Journeys by groups. The generic groups may be called: bevy - brood - parade - parliament - safe - skulk or turmoil (thanks to Oxford English Dictionary) depending on the type of animal. As a group - as do we as human beings - they journey from one place to another. As humans - our journeys may be of the mind but they are valid explorations of the unknown.

Here is another partial image of one of the paintings from the series about "Ancient Souls".

Ancient Souls

This is a partial image from a larger painting in the Ancient Souls series. This series is about the belief of the "Ancients" (sometimes referred to incorrectly as the "Anasazi") that when we die - our Souls become flowers - butterflies - hummingbirds,etc. It is also a part of the belief structure of the present day people who are called Hopi. I have attempted to offer the essential "spirit" of the concept and not a literal interpretation of a sacred belief.

Souls of the Grandparents Follow the Family

I have not posted for a while for I have been working on some new paintings. Three of them will be in the Ryman Foundation exhibition on October 2.
