What the Bull’s Eye Perceives

Color and Gravity
I love music. My work is highly influenced by my favorite musicians and their album covers As a kid I remember picking up a CD and staring at the cover or liner notes and examining the design as I listened to my favorite songs. I know this influenced me in my profession as a graphic…
Female Northern Cardinal
It has been fairly frigid over the last week and have not been painting as much as I would like. I have been busy with work and keeping the house warm. It has been our coldest snap of the year. I am not sure if it has gotten above zero degrees, it has been mainly…
