New work alert!

Published

That’s right my peeps; I’ve been cranking out the art so much I forgot what the sun looked like!  Oh well these were worth it. I’m pleased to announce three new Commando photozaics to the family; After the Storm, Coming up Peachy and Stick figures. You and see these in Person starting August 7th & 9th for our Western show located on the 2nd floor of Solar Arts Building NE Minneapolis, MN.

After the Storm

They whispered to her you cannot withstand the storm; she whispered back I AM THE STORM.   Sometimes we need to rage like a storm, it’s the “knowing” when you it’s time to rage versus walking away with your inner sense of calm.  

Coming up Peachy

Don’t miss an opportunity to watch the sunrise, it’s a great way to begin a brand-new day filled with limitless possibilities.  This trip was over the 4th
of July and my friend and I got up early to photograph a sunrise instead of the gorgeous sunsets that we see from her island.  We ventured out predawn and found a great spot to dock the boat; sat and watched this sunrise come up over the horizon.  

Stick Figuires

Changing seasons are opportunities to harvest (autumn), shed what no longer serves you and go within (winter), plant seeds (spring) and growth (summer)! Like the trees I named Stick Figures now is the time to go within and see what needs to be released so you have room to plant new seeds of prosperity come springtime.  What are you willing to let go, to grow?  Inner peace can be achieved by following Mother Nature’s changing of the season cycle, by Natalie McGuire.

Forest of Birch

“In Celtic Mythology the silver birch tree is sacred and symbolizes new beginnings and protection.”  This quote speaks to me and helping me understand why I love Birch trees and my Irish Heritage.  This image was taken at Jay Cooke State Park in February 2012 just a few months before this region received an unprecedented amount of rain in a 24-hour period; forever changing the landscape of this park.

Wolf n Bear

Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for a while, leaving footprints on our hearts and we are never the same- by Flavia Weedn.  This image reminds me of the ones that left their footprints on my soul.

About Orange Watercolor:

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you visit the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into twilight blue.
