Niggle's Leaf

This painting is the smallest and first in my 'Niggle's Leaf' series. It was inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's short story, 'Leaf by Niggle'. It is done with many glazes of transparent colors. The tree is a Bradford Pear that grew behind my old apartment in Atlanta.

Dawn's Early Light

I grew up in an alcoholic home. My father was an alcoholic and my childhood was marred with devastating episodes due to my father's drinking. My granddaughter Shannen, the the subject of this portrait, shared a similar situation earlier in her very young life, suffering an alcohol related car accident (she was ok) with her mother at the age of 2 and a broken home the following year. We may not be aware of - or willfully ignore - the hurt our actions can cause and this was the motivation behind the creation of 'Dawn's Early Light'. Third prize winner in the 17th Annual International Exhibition Atlanta 2009.
