“The paintings I’m showing in January 2017 at Smith and Vallee Gallery are my explorations of pattern, color and how to handle the complex data of forest environments.

Many of these creators excelled across many disciplines. What a fresh idea, a confident indifference to boundaries!” – Patty Haller

They’re called Window Collages. The titles are poetic/scientific documentations: night …
Another shooting. Artists, help me grieve. My job is to look. I want no subject to be taboo. If it is a face, I will look. If it is death, I will look. Looking is how I peacefully confront, learn, maintain engagement. This blog thread is how I share. The images below are fine art paintings of …
There are at least 9 portraits made of the Postman Joseph Roulin, and 17 of his family. The Postman became one of his Van Gogh’s favorite sitters in the French town of Arles. Van Gogh wrote to his brother about him: “I am now at work with another model, a postman in a blue uniform, …
For the last two weeks I’ve had the benefit of learning from Carlos San Millan. He is a generous painter. What took a while for me to grasp at first is now coming into form, and soon will be a V. Note. In the meantime, I wanted to send out some new painters. In the …
