Making the decision not to renew Apple’s website has caused a few glitches like having no place on the net to show my artwork. I’ll need to rebuild it somewhere. Meanwhile this painting, The Guardians is one of the paintings shown in an exhibit called Taken from my sketchbook: Egypt 2006. My paintings introduce large scale light boxes set within canvas structures to highlight artwork inspired by sketches done during a trip to Egypt. Size: 54″ x 84″ Beeswax, acrylic on canvas, mixed media on mulberry paper.

Here is a detail of one of the large paintings I did when I came back from Egypt. These rams are lined up at the entrance to the Temple of Karnak.

Egypt

May 9, 2007

My recent paintings introduce light boxes set within canvas structures to highlight artwork inspired by sketches done during a recent trip to Egypt. I use hieroglyphics, line drawings of symbolic animals and abstract color shapes, to capture the power and scale of Egypt’s ancient monuments. At the same time, my work evokes the ethereal beauty of the Pharaoh’s profoundly held belief in an eternal after life. 2450 BC Mixed media on canvas and mulberry paper 54” x 84” 2006
