In this composition, feathery, ethereal and cheerful clouds with hints of emerald and lavender dance over cerulean blue seas. 
This instant captures peace and perfect harmony of skies and seas.

This tranquil landscape features a gently flowing river coursing against a peaceful shoreline while verdant distant hills rise and fall against baby blue sunlit skies.

In this still life, a strikingly simple floral arrangement competes for attention with the ostentatious flair of a vintage red and gold paisley highball cocktail glass that hearkens back to the style of Hollywood Regency and the Mad Men of Madison Avenue.

This composition features three hummingbirds energetically darting through space with playfully vibrant hints of blue, pink, green, and gold as they fulfill their busy mission.
Hummingbirds are known to symbolize eternity, continuity, and infinity as the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol.
These extraordinary creatures constantly feed and visit up to 2,000 flowers per day with their long bills in search of sugary nectar. They are also migratory birds and can fly over 500 miles in a day. 
This work portrays hummingbird featured characteristics of movement, the search for nourishment and dashing colors.

The gallant colony of ibis depicted in this composition stand out against the shadows of their bronzen environment.  These frequent inhabitants of wetlands, forests and plains with their characteristic crescent moon profiles were renowned in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures, most prominently in portrayals of the Egyptian deity Thoth:  the god of writing, magic and wisdom.

These abstracts evoke the mystery of ancient Aztec architectural forms and the contrasts between simple and elegant versus bold and powerful.
The Aztecan city of Tenochtitlan would become the world's largest city by the 16th century, and the seat of an expansive empire. Important features of the city included a the royal palace, a central plaza, temples, shrines, pyramids, courtyards, lush gardens, and even ball courts. While construction initiatives were limited to primitive tools and manual labor, their engineers had deployed precise mathematical techniques based on a "vigesimal" system, which is only now being understood by modern archaeologists.

This composition takes its inspiration from the celebrated cherry blossoms which flood Japan each year in a sea of trees awash in perfect pink blooms known as "sakura."  For centuries, elite imperial courtiers, poets, painters, and lovers have obsessed over the alluring and mysterious flower, which is often cited as a symbol of the transient nature of life.

Paradoxically, the ornamental Japanese Magnolia is actually a native of the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan. This cheerfully beloved deciduous transient has been cultivated and exported worldwide in celebration of its flawless and profuse springtime blooms.  In this composition flowering pink blossoms gently clutched by admiring branches prevail over morning mist.  In ancient cultures, the magnolia symbolized beauty and gentleness.

Three important philosophies in Japanese garden design are represented in this composition: Simplicity, the Beauty of Shadow, and Irregularity. Soft linear outlines emphasizing verdant liveliness complimented by rich golden warmth capture the subtle tranquility of garden introspection. Traditional Japanese motifs and techniques inspire a contemporary interpretation of classical style.
This work is a member of a four-piece set, but is stunningly effective in any combination.

This composition is dedicated to the iconic American musician and pillar of the “Grateful Dead,” Jerry Garcia.
Named after a composer and born in San Francisco, music was enstilled and encouraged by his family and teachers at an early age. Growing up in and around Menlo Park, Jerry emerged as a founder of the Grateful Dead in the early 1960s. Soon thereafter, he became an American icon.
Beyond the quality and craftsmanship of the 20+ gold or platinum certified albums released over his lifetime attesting to the quality of his music, Jerry just made you feel good and happy.
He “owned” the guitar, effortlessly improvising with the band while supplying beloved vocals in perfect harmony. Studio recordings were good... but live was so much better.  Those were the days. You are very missed.
P.S. Thanks to John Mayer, who recently called it "the honor of a lifetime" to play with Dead & Co. Together, they're keeping Jerry's great music alive.
