A collection of all the paintings I did as a participant in Palette 22 Restaurant's artist-in-residence program in Arlington, Virginia.
Deluge
Earth softly shattered
And from the remains came forth
Language of color
16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite
Efflorescence of Soft Clowns
Anonymous shapes
Dancing in empty blue sky
Eyes, echoes of birds

Erosion
Scrape, peel, wipe away
The red beats, the blue shimmers
Wonder and wander
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Brigand
You were assembled
From discarded metal. You
Are sharp and yet, soft

Interruption
Outward, inward, turned
Inside out, then right side in...
Imaginary

Mojo
Mysteries that click
In the dark, the lights have been
Turned all the way up

Earthly Flavors
Around and around,
Your amorphous dreams lurk in
Emptiness, silence
16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite
Tumult
Accumulations
Of obscure thoughts, remains of
Yesterday's paintings
16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite
Conspirators
Blinding bright sunlight
Figures of incompleteness
Strange resemblances
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Hungry Times
Unknown nose, dead eyes,
Fur, bone, teeth. Beasts sliced open
Yielding mystery
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
King Trot
Upside-down teapot
In flight, zooming in and out
Twisted, unfettered
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Fascination
No wings, quite big and
Clunky. Foam goggles, bulbous
Nose. Fat with color
14 in x 11 in
Embarcardero
Strawberry reds pierce
Your eyes. The blue is like the
Sky. The yellow, sun.
16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite
Ruminations on a Burial Grove
Night washes away
Colors. Subterranean
Feel, endless wonder.
16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite
Reposal
Velvet night surrounds
Geometric juggling of
Muted clay bodies
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Origins
Fleshy beginnings
Contiguous harmonies
Of pink, yellow, blue

Queen B
Somewhat skeletal
Anonymous turquoise shine
Solid yellow glow.

Catch of the Day
Dip, float, open wide
Fish scales, red, unknown orange
Smooth shapes, pale pink skin

Layabouts
What sunrise sounds like.
Hovering. Flat. Curious.
Delicate balance.
11 in x 14 in
Flight of the Color Hungry Lurker
Loquacious colors
Spread to form a patchwork of
Innocent chaos
20 in x 16 in, oil on masonite
Rehearsal
Acrobatic feel
Lunging and thrusting within
Blue, orange playground
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Bedevilment
Masked congregation
Weird flesh, wide eyes. Making the
Night more interesting
11 in x 14 in, oil on masonite
Night Grooves
Anonymous plain
holds the secret of a red
god as figures dance.
20 in x 16 in, oil on masonite
Portrait of a Discordant Hip Beat Pinata
You were found in a
Heap of newspapers. I made
A painting of you.
