Pear Targets-- Installation at 300 NE Multnomah
Pear Targets -- No Direct Commercial Application
In general my artwork is for my own amusement. In fact, one challenge I set for myself is to avoid as much as possible any derivative commercial applications of the work. This can be somewhat difficult to accomplish in traditional painting. However, expanding into the realm of installation, using three-dimensional multi media, presents increased opportunity to achieve true commercial worthlessness.

Earth Day Poster 1970
This is an Earth Day poster I made in my High School art class, in 1970, for the first Earth Day.
It is painted on a beige, pebbled-finish mat board. I painted the tree using acrylics, and added details with my Rapidograph pen (remember those?).
What is interesting about this painting was that I used some kind of correction white on it, thinking I would fix it later (completely white out the background or something). Yeah right. Later. I didn't realize it would be almost 40 years later using some then undreamed-of technology. In 1970 an average computer took up half a small building.
On Earth Day 2009, I scanned the thing, and used a "clone brush" tool in a paint program to eliminate the white-out. It's done now.
