The Peaceful Garden
A cat meditates on the nature of life. A curious owl wishes that he would talk and explain its enigmatic smile.

BABY MONSTERS: Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

This teeny, weeny baby is about the size of a large acorn. I found her around twilight, huddled on the forest floor, hiding amongst the fallen leaves and acorns, waiting for her mom to return with dinner. I kept my distance while I hastily made her portrait, knowing that she was somewhere close by. The last thing I wanted to do was make this sweet baby anxious.

SOUL PEOPLE: Hope Beckons
Soul: the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life; the moral and emotional nature of human beings. (source:Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

I watch the local and national news too much. As a result, I am witness to people facing serious life challenges that are usually far beyond my own measured world.

To me, the Soul People series reflects aspects of intrinsic humanity, including the suffering, alienation, confusion as well as the quest for joy, peace and understanding that people experience in their day to day lives. Depending upon the "soul" within, they deal with these challenges differently. In these images I am trying to explore and visualize what that might look like. NOTE: I created this piece quite awhile ago when I was just beginning to work with digital media.

into the garden - winter arrives with memories of spring
This is the fourth in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Lord Shrouder, of the Runbludic tribe & his Leaping Lollies: Ishney, Bothart, Rubels and Pamela.

Kitty-Fish Love
It's all about connections.
In a whimsical world, cats and fish can be friends instead of predator and prey. Strange beings can manifest out of the blue and dance among the flowers or spin in circles just for the fun of it! In a whimsical world, anything is possible.
