Finished! BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS, 19x13”, pearlescent watercolor on handmade black paper. Depicting the May 10, 2024 solar storm over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon. What a night! (BOREAS, the Greek god of the north wind, is what the aurora borealis are named for.)

A painting on black paper of the aurora borealis as seen over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon near White City. The left side shows a dimly illuminated rock formation with steep sides and a very flat top, over which a crescent moon hangs low. On the right is a less defined rock formation with a more gradual profile on the sides and a broad top. The sky is painted in streamers of pinks and purples, with a green glow showing on the lower right side of the sky. Many shimmering paint colors are used to add to the effect. Paint palettes, brushes and pens are seen surrounding the painting.

Presenting DUST OF OSIRIS, watercolor and ink, 12x12”. Inspired by the Egyptian decorative motifs, the Egyptian Revival movement, and a high-res photo of the opened OSIRIS-REx sample container, containing dust from asteroid Bennu. This has been a labor of love for me, I hope you enjoy it!

It’s and here are three, with only the first making significant progress this week so far.


A drawing in progress on a square surface. The International Space Station is seen as a black shape against a multicolored lunar surface. Craters have been outlined in gray and peach on the white surface. Colored pencils are seen above the piece in a stack.

Finished! “A FAULT ZONE OF MARS”, 9x12”, watercolor and ink on cotton. My interpretation of a HiRISE image of fault-crossed rock formations on .

Info: https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_052893_1835


The artist poses with A watercolor painting with a pinkish rusty background that has a slight steel blue sheen. The color granulates and is more concentrated in splotches across the paper, giving an organic sunspot look. Alternating dark and light banded rock formations are inked in a loose, scribbled texture in two shades of dark navy and blue.

What’s on deck this morning? A image of amazing folded rock formations on ! I have five 8x8” paintings to do by Labor Day for the Central Art Gallery Square Show, so they might as well be space (or abstract depending on the viewer. 😂)

@SpaceX

A watercolor painting of the Starship test launch from 4/20/23, showing the vehicle and Super Heavy booster emerging from clouds of dust and exhaust. In the background, concentric intersecting circles of dusty yellow ink surround the booster. Around the outside, thick metallic gold and copper lines frame the piece in an Art Nouveau/iconography style. In the upper corners, a space-like background of blues and purples, with lighter flecks representing stars. Ink pens, eraser and brushes are seen to either side of the piece.
