Our Heart is painted on a 1 1/2" hollow core panel panel . The paint layer is 1/8 " thick. The painting is ready to hang when it leaves the studio.
Our Heart is one of three paintings in a loose triptych called Corazón. The other two are in progress and could very well split off from this grouping.

Electroweak is painted on a 1 1/2" hollow core panel.
Electroweak was originally a commission from a car company to make several films of my paint spreading on two foot panels. The films were to be used as source material for touch screens in driverless cars. They wanted the human touch. I suggested setting me up with a studio in Paris for a year would yield some good source material. I've not heard back. The films can be seen on my website.
I got to keep all but one of the paintings per contract. This painting sat around for several years until 2019 when I started reworking it.
I recently started to learn some acrylic pouring techniques with a view to creating some nebula/space themed art. I really love fluid art because it's much freer than the kinds of art I usually do and it's almost impossible to plan what the final painting will look like!
This painting was created on a 20cm x 20cm canvas board using the flip cup technique, with my paints mixed with Floetrol and water, no silicone added

Junk Food is painted on a 1/4" mdf panel mounted on a frame. The paint layer is 3/8 " thick. This painting can be hung in any possible direction. I painted it flat.
Junkfood is made of three paint and three resin layers. The top layer is shinny resin. The edges are routed down with a 1/4 round carbide bit. The routed edge has a soft translucent matte finish that transmits light.
The first paint layer looks like it was playing around with the shape of the panel running ribbons of different media interactions parallel with the long edge. The paint interactions on this layer are quite complex. Some of it remains intact. The subsequent layers follow the elongated format as well. These layers are more translucent with saturated colors that glow using light from the clear resin layers below.

I wasn't happy with the original work from a couple weeks ago. After let it sit for a while, I started seeing the final look. The rework included adding the silver mixative and redoing some of the wisps.
Series of music by Thomas Bergersen and by Mattia Cupelli on the background helped me focusing on the dramatic flow on this one. Love their work.

I got to keep all but one of the paintings per contract. This painting sat around for several years until 2019 when I started reworking it. The paint layer is built up from the original commission with a loose, accidental hand. On top of the dried paint I applied a thin coat of resin. Another paint layer was applied on top of the dried resin surface.
Third time's a charm. Finally, I got one painting that I could give away as a Valentine's Card. (I reuse the ribbon and the tag though.) Productive weekend for painting and I am so not ready for Monday. 😅

Navigator was developed during the covid pandemic. Its focus on tight detail can be attributed to a lack of materials due to the supply chain breakdown. This painting has multiple layers embedded in resin with a matte surface texture. Because of the mat surface descending layers will increasingly appear blurry. The title Navigator is based on David Lynch's representation of a guild navigator from his version of the movie Dune.

Bless is painted on a 1/2" medium density fiberboard panel (MDF). This painting is ready to hang in either vertical orientation.
Bless has been in progress a couple of years. My small work is painted on upcycled panels and usually start as a gesture or an experiment to see what will happen. These paintings get worked and reworked until they seem done.
Bless seems to have two organisms in a symbiotic relationship floating in an alien landscape.

Ophiocordyceps is a genus of fungi within the family Ophiocordycipitaceae. The widespread genus, first described scientifically by British mycologist Tom Petch in 1931, contains about 140 species that grow on insects. Anamorphic genera that correspond with Ophiocordyceps species are Hirsutella, Hymenostilbe, Isaria, Paraisaria, and Syngliocladium.
One species complex, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, is known for its parasitism on ants, in which it alters the behavior of the ants in such a way as to propagate itself more effectively, killing the ant and then growing its fruiting bodies from the ant's head and releasing its spores. To accomplish this, infected ants are stripped of their instinctive fear of heights, and leaving the relative safety of their nests, climb up the nearest plant—a syndrome known as "summit disease". The ant clamps it jaws around the plant in a "death grip" and following, mycelia grow from the ant's feet and stitch them to the surface of the plant. The spores released from the ant carcass fall to the ground and infect other ants that come in contact with the spores so that this cycle continues. Areas with high densities of ants that have this fungus growing out of them are known as graveyards.
A 48-million-year-old fossil of an ant in the death-grip of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis was discovered in Germany.

The Cloud of Unknowing (Middle English: The Cloude of Unknowyng) is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer. The underlying message of this work suggests that the way to know God is to abandon consideration of God's particular activities and attributes, and be courageous enough to surrender one's mind and ego to the realm of "unknowing", at which point one may begin to glimpse the nature of God.

I however found I liked the painting as it is so I left it alone.

A Spartan was an inhabitant of Sparta. Despite their reputation they were not any more successful than other ancient Greek armies. With giving this painting this title I'm poking at the weakness underlining toxic masculinity.

Readings is painted on a 1/4" opaque black plexiglass panel. The panel is mounted on 1/2" plexiglass spacers.
Readings has multiple paint and resin layers with the finish layer being resin. Readings was started by a studio assistant named Reo. I had an air assisted dot machine that Reo used to apply paint on the right edge of the painting. The painting title comes from Reo's contribution. A kachina doll descends from the heavens.
