The story behind the painting

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that eat insects, small rodents, etc. Their prey is attracted by the smell the pitcher emits. When they crawl into the pitcher, they fall into a liquid at the bottom that digests the prey, and the downward pointing hairs prevent the prey from crawling out. To me, the lids on top of the plant look like open mouths, which suggested they were singing. That is why I decided to place them singing around a microphone.

The story behind the painting

The Amazon Horned frog is an ambush predator. It sits patiently and waits for unsuspecting prey to wander by and then eats them. In this painting the Horned frog sits among a group of ceramic frogs thinking he’s unnoticeable awaiting for an unsuspecting victim.

The story behind the painting

This was inspired by a photo of a friend who was throwing food to seagulls from his boat. To me it looked like he’s trying to levitate something so I put him in a scene with a swimming pool and a levitated jellyfish. I still wasn’t satisfied with the outcome so I did another larger one. The sunset was inspired by a photo I took in Costa Rica. Between the ocean and the sky is a golden line done in gold leaf. Apparently when the sun sets and the conditions are right there’s a bright flash of light that shoots across the horizon. Hence the line of gold leaf. In this one he has levitated a weedy sea dragon, ghost pipe fish and angler fish. There is a second horizon line in which you are looking above and below the water surface.

The story behind the painting

As I mentioned earlier I’ve always been fascinated by decorative faces of New Guinea tribe’s men. In this photo I’ve put the native in a setting I can’t even figure out. He was in the pose that looked like he was waiting for something. The rest of the painting just happened. The fire breather is the BBQ cooker, the fellow in the sky with the panicked look on his face is the person arriving late. The New Guinea native is impatiently waiting with a hot dog on his arrow. I had trouble painting the hand holding the bow and arrow so I painted this cactus looking plant in front of it.

The story behind this painting

Red eyed tree frog jumping through a pane of glass. This is a tribute to all my musician/artist friends who continue to create in spite of the difficulties and barriers in the current arts atmosphere.

The story behind the painting

In this painting I placed a New Guinea Native with a somewhat puzzled look on his face in a winter scene. Hence the title what climate change.

The story behind the painting

This was a commissioned piece and I was allowed to create whatever I wanted. I asked the client what he liked and he said abandoned buildings etc. I found this picture of an abandoned hair salon from the 50’s. I put this New Guinea native in the fore front. I love the fact they decorate themselves with natural items found in the jungle to achieve these incredible looks. In photographs of them you never see them smiling so I used this fellow because he seems to be very pleased with the costume. He’s had ”A Makeover” in this abandoned hair salon. Since the image is surreal I added Roswell Beauty Salon”. Roswell was the site of the much documented alien space ship crash. Hence the title “The Makeover, Roswell Beauty Salon”

The story behind the painting

This image came into my mind of a dog swimming through a coral reef. In this painting I’ve added a lionfish in the fore ground that appears to be fleeing the swimming dog. This inspired the title “Fetch”.

The story behind the painting

My wife (and chaperone in life) was the superintendent in a small apartment building we lived in. We had access to the whole building for maintenance and this was the boiler room. It was dark and creepy and the lighting was dramatic. In this bleak atmosphere I put natures flying jewels (humming birds) to put some life into a drab environment. I put them around a microphone with a metronome underneath set to the measure of “Adagio”. On the sides in the audience are the Red Eyed Tree Frogs enjoying the concert.
