Black Dog Series

      

Paintings from my Black Dog series deal with deep psychological issues, personal battles and view of self. Begun in 1989, the series features a character who faces mayhem and misfortune at every turn. The paintings have won awards at various Butler Museum shows and twice been accepted into the Butler Museums's National Midyear Exhibition.

Moonlight on the Furrows





 Moonlight on the Furrows is an oil on canvas and 40x60 inches. It was inspired my many walks in the fields on warm, Autumn nights. Originally titled Fukushima Moon, it is an agitated, irradiated landscape with the moon as antagonist. In 2012 it was shown at the Area Artist Annual, Butler Institute of American Art. In 2013 it was a featured piece in my solo exhibition, Feathers and Fence Posts, Fresh A.I.R. Gallery, downtown Columbus, Ohio. In June of 2015, DNA Gallery hosted my solo exhibition, Sol Invictus, with Moonlight on the Furrows being a featured work.
