A commission


 
Last month I was asked to create a painting from a photo of this sweet little boy. I combine several photographs to create this piece.

Our traffic circle with mosaics and metal sculpture

 

Years ago I was asked to create a traffic calming device. We had had a lot of trouble with speeders through our neighborhood and we got permission from the city to create an obelisk at the entrance to our neighborhood on the southside and a traffic circle, a roundabout on the north side. On the roundabout Caryn Brown, a mosaic artist in town, Lisa Regan, a metal worker, and I got together and created this piece. It is been here for around eight or 10 years now and I decided that it was time to paint the metal so that it could be more easily seen from the street. So this is the piece now.
