This is my favorite painting in ages. The alarmist bird makes
me happy. I sleepwalk through life all too often. I miss
things. Forget to pay attention. Go through the motions.
I would like for a little raven Angel to sit on my shoulder and
holler in my ear every time I start to take my existence for
granted. Wake up! Caw caw! How Alarm was created..... This piece has a little bit of everything going on. Brush painting, palette-knife painting, finger-painting, blotting with rags, scraping with scrapers, scratching with dental tools, etc., etc. It is a multi-layered image that I worked on over an extended period of time. I finished it off with tiny 18/0 detail brushes, creating the wonderful crow and adding the words. Alarm was painted on a 8" x 8" stretched canvas. The sides of this piece DO have staples but they are covered by layers of texture and color and they do not show at all. This painting looks lovely displayed as it is without framing either directly on the wall or on a small decorative easel. Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no matting or glass.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you!
