"Paintings" are original watercolors done in a gouache-like unique style utilizing vivid colors found in nature blending together to create natural life like pictures. A style which could be characterized as contemporary realism. All original watercolors are framed with a unique style frame (patent pending) which is an original design by the artist. Made of oak or pine inset with "jaras" (salt cedar willows) which are cut to size and pre-selected for matching diameter, color and texture. Then each jara is individually fit and glued. The frame in itself is a unique original work of art. The watercolor painting is then inset into the frame when mounting to give an added dimensional look.

Segmented Wood Vases
|
|
|
|
The segmented wood vases are made of various exotic hard woods by a unique process developed by the artist. They are entirely hand shaped with the use of a belt sander by holding, maneuvering and twisting to desired shape. They are not made on a lathe and are not considered "turnings". The finish is a result of hours of manual sanding utilizing five different grits of sandpaper and 0000 steel wool to accomplish the smooth glass-like feel. Finally, pure carnuba wax is applied to coat and preserve. The colors are all natural, wood stains or dyes are not used. The sanding process itself acts as a sealer, no further care is necessary.
