"Jade"
24" x  32" Acrylic on Paper,  1996

Jade was one of those pieces that just materialized out of thin air.  When I was in art school I was at my best friend's house painting with him, and I just started with the ribbon shapes and everything else just happened perfectly after that!  I always liked the extreme balance of this painting and the mysterious quality.  The idea behind her is to personify a gem stone, in this case Jade or Jadeite.  As if she is actually made of the material itself, but is also somehow alive and breathing...

    My friend Ingrid Sundberg and I had a fun day sketching at the zoo a few weekends back-  here are some of the sketches!  there are bigger versions in the sketches gallery...  one of my favorites is the little black and white drawing of the yawning turtle head- I was sketching and he just yawned like a cartoon!
