| The work in this area are "one off" explorations or individual pieces that I've done for specific requests or situations. I consider them "random" in that they aren't typical of a series of work perfecting a technique or exploring a subject matter. Still, they're fun and most of them hold a certain personal value and so I've included them here to share with others.  | Ever Watching Done for the 2011 Around the Block show at Parklane Gallery, "Ever Watching" is a stretched canvas wrapped entirely in painted masa paper. Exploring other mediums as well as paint, this piece grew with a life of it's own as I worked on it without a plan in mind... each change suggesting the next. Ultimately I used a drawing from my sketchbook to add the sunface and some flying birds (right side, middle, very subtle) to complete the piece. [12x12] $225 |
 | It's a Good Read I cropped an earlier picture of my daughter reading a book as we were sitting at a starbucks in Pioneer Square. Loved the way it turned out but the original idea of haing many scrolls and decorations off to the side (to simulate the ideas that the reading was producing) just didn't quite work for me. The cropped version is much better. Especially love the detail on the lace of her shirt... NFS |
 | The Storyteller An early watercolor. Looks more like a book illustration to me than a fine-art painting. This is a self-portrait which shows me telling stories to my two daughters when they were young. That was a real great pasttime; the way we went to bed every night was with mom or dad making up stories for the girls. NFS

 | Friends A pencil drawing that I did for my daughter Lauren, based on several mythical characters that she found in my old sketchbooks from junior high school. NFS
