The Serpent Tree



Latest Artwork: "The Serpent Tree"

Artwork is inspired by the Tree of Life / World Tree / Serpent Tree mythologies found across various cultures and religions.

Mixed media (liquid gold leaf, oil pastels, colored pencils, silver ink, liquid silver leaf, black marker) on paper, 19×25 inches.

These photos do not do the original artwork justice as you can’t see the different metallic bits so well in the photographs. (There are two different types of silver used, for example, which you can differentiate in person, but not so well in the photo). But you get the idea at any rate….

Below are posted some photos of the artwork in progress.

Works in Progress

Hey all.
I'm snowed in here in Philadelphia so I thought I should take the time to update my much-neglected blog.

I've been busy working on website designs and some other graphic projects, but I've also been busy with some new artworks. I'm also in a new gallery down on the Main Line so if you have not stopped by my exhibitions page in a while, please check out all of my upcoming events.

Anway, below I've posted some photos of various new works of mine in progress, for those interested in getting a look at such things.

This first artwork is called "Ursa" and it measures about 11 x 15 inches.











Next up is my latest artwork, "Three Ravens," which measures 25 x 19 inches.









And finally, just a sketch I've started for a new artwork called "The Serpent Tree", which also measures 19 x 25 inches.
