Some Whimsy Interlaced with Social Commentary

Most of what I paint is non-objective and non-representational — i.e., abstract expressionistic and impressionistic, if we want to cast these creative gestures into categories.

However, there are moments when I want to — or even feel compelled to — evoke representations of some vagaries of internal states or some expression of outrage at a particular futility crossing my path or just toss a gesture toward — as I indicated in the title, above — a personal whim.

And there are moments when I want to just acknowledge — maybe memorialize — the damage I see our world of humans doing to ourselves. I mean, we’ve got a little time left, apparently, so: Why Not?

The pieces below are a little different from much of the rest of what I’ve put one this site in that I’m referencing objects to characterize some quality of relationship or some feeling tone or some event. Often I’m responded with at least tiny element of wryness, too.
