Thanks for visiting and commenting on my work.

Sometimes I do use collage, most frequently music. The patterns that appear to be stamped are made with blocks that I have carved. And I use acrylic paint on the blocks. I vary the way I use them, so the printed images have a lot of variation to them.

Thanks for your comments on my work!  Yes, Calder is one of my prime influences.  And truly unique -- there was no one quite like him before he showed up, and there hasn't been anyone since, really.

I love the light and transparency in your work!  And yet there is such mystery and atmosphere.  Great!

And you would have been mine! =)

Hi Patti!

Thank you for visiting my work. I just had the pleasure of viewing your gallery and website. You have such a gentle way of portraying light. And I love the flow of your lines. It would have been fun to have you as a teacher in high school!

Hello pattieba,

Thanks
for the compliments!  Depending on the painting, I treat/prime
paperboard with either Liquitex's "Gloss Medium & Varnish", Latex
house paint, gesso, or acrylic paint. 

As for the eBay stuff: 
It's pretty disappointing.  eBay started out as a fun adventure for
many artists.  Then they changed many of the rules and raised fees, but
it was still tolerable.  Now, with the newest round of changes and fee
increases, many sellers are finding it to be just not worth it
anymore.  It's sad.  I guess we'll wait and see what eBay does in the
future; But for now, I'm looking elsewhere.

Stay Cool,
