Gazing Into Eternity series
This series started in the Spring of 2021 revisits the relationship between the female archetype and nature, as started in the human nature series of drawings.

Aether Worlds – more paintings and planets
The Aether Worlds series has now developed into a total of 12 paintings and 18 planets...I find the use of oil paint to create different effects absolutely fascinating and the "Aether Worlds" series has given me a great "blank canvas" to work out methods using palette knives and the dynamic results that can be achieved... and a few brushes here and there.
