A white tiger watches protectively over a miko (Shinto shrine maiden), sitting in contemplation beneath a twisted pine tree. A torii sits on a distant hill. A full moon illuminates this tranquil scene. This Japanese landscape, from the Zen Mandala series (visionary landscapes in a contemporary surreal style), is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" sides are finished off in purple acrylic)--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The watermarks on the image do not appear on the actual painting. Prints and pendants are also available.

A leopard watches protectively over a woman in turquoise meditating on a glorious sunset in shades of yellow, orange, red and purple. This African landscape, from the Zen Mandala series (visionary landscapes in a contemporary surreal style), is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" sides are finished off in purple acrylic)--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The watermarks on the image do not appear on the actual painting. Prints and pendants are also available.
This is my first painting with a big cat. I hope to do more (tiger next, maybe a white one).

Rounding a twisted cypress tree, the Golden Gate Bridge comes into view. Sailboats flutter around San Francisco Bay. This California seascape, from the Land's End trail, is offered as a pendant, hand crafted by the artist from my original painting. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.
Suitable for a man or woman, an adjustable knotted cord is included so the piece is ready to wear and will fit most sizes (these are adjusted by sliding the knots and don't have a metal clasp). If you would prefer a black cord, or a cord of a particular length with a clasp instead, let me know at the time of the sale (no additional charge).

Tree branches in silhouette frame a luminous full moon, a lone raven perched on a branch. In tones of denim blue, this haunting landscape was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem. This monochrome silhouette, part of the Zen Mandala series, is offered as a fine art pendant, hand crafted by the artist. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.

A silhouette of a raven, or crow, sitting on a tree branch, gazing at the full moon. The night sky is in shades of orange, deepening to a rich red. This gothic fantasy landscape is offered as a pendant, hand crafted by the artist from my original painting. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.

Out for a moonlit stroll in a garden, Frida stops to smell the red roses that are climbing along the wrought iron fence. A crow or raven has fluttered down too. Both are illumined by the full moon. Frida is wearing a simple white peasant dress, with a chunky Mexican bead necklace and earrings. A branch from a pepper tree sways overhead. This visionary landscape is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" staple-free sides are finished off in dark blue acrylic) and can be hung with just a nail--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The copyright watermark does not appear on the actual painting. Size: 11" x 14"

Beautiful African angel in a lavender and melon (pink orange) gown with a tribal pattern, handsculpted in polymer clay around a real metal thimble. Her open wings have a touch of pink in them. One-of-a-kind folk art. An excellent Christmas gift or year-round collectible for anyone who loves angels.
