In the heart of "Delta Blues", I've embarked on a creative journey that mirrors the splendor of nature. This artwork is a celebration of our planet's profound beauty, using the transformative power of copper to capture the essence of forest views. Each stroke and texture forms a tapestry of earthy browns and golds harmonized with lively blues, creating a sanctuary of warmth and vibrancy. The layers of patterns resemble a beautifully intricate landscape, inviting you to explore its depths and uncover the stories concealed within. Through the unique process of copper patina, this piece transcends the ordinary, offering a glimpse into a world where art and nature unite. Let "Delta Blues" be a reminder of the endless inspiration that surrounds us, uplifting and inviting us to look beyond our everyday perspective.

Not the best picture as the copper desktop is so large, its impossible to get a close up in its entirety. This is the end of the install and as you can see, the client still needs to put her computer, etc. back on the desk top but wanted to post a pic of it before it has th electronic equipment gets added back on.

I love the copper colors in this space. What you can’t see are all of the “sparkles” that are in all of the colors. Copper Patina can be used on table top, bar tops, desk tops among many additional ideas.

"Branches and Butterflies Ballet: A Dance of Nature and Art"
In the realm of art, inspiration springs from the most varied of muses, sometimes emerging from a simple commission that turns into a transformational journey. Such was the case with my latest creation, "Branches and Butterflies Ballet"—a piece that embodies the beauty and complexity of organic growth through a delicate interplay of textures and colors.

Set along the elegant sweep of a staircase, this triangular artwork is more than just a visual spectacle; it is an immersive experience where nature's dance is frozen in time. As you ascend or descend, each step offers a unique perspective, inviting a fresh glimpse of the dance each time—a choreography designed by nature itself.

The artwork harnesses the power of copper and mixed media, a novel combination that adds depth and multifaceted texture to every inch of the piece. The dark, earthy background serves as a grounding foundation for the intricate designs of delicate branches reaching skyward. These branches, guided by unseen forces, are peppered with leaves that vary in warm browns with whispers of turquoise and green. This palette evokes the ever-changing seasons, captured mid-transformation, with hues that hum in harmony and contrast all at once.

"Branches and Butterflies Ballet" was inspired by the spirit of growth, a commission born from a simple request and realized into something profoundly transformational. This piece is not just a representation of nature’s beauty but an embodiment of its dynamic energy, ever reaching, ever changing. Each element of the branches and leaves points towards movement—with a sense of weightlessness, akin to a ballet where every twist and turn tells a story of life, growth, and transcendence.

Creating this artwork was a unique adventure, as melding the physicality of copper with the soft adaptability of mixed media demanded a heightened level of creativity and craftsmanship. This confluence of materials resulted in a piece that exudes strength while maintaining an ethereal quality, much like the natural elements it seeks to emulate.

"Branches and Butterflies Ballet" stands as a testament to the beauty of nature, art, and the journey that crafts one into the other. It reminds us to pause, to appreciate the world not just for its beauty, but for its ability to inspire growth and transformation—a dance that perpetually unfolds around us.

So this isn’t a pic of any copper pieces that I have created. But what it is, is a water reflection of the fall colored leaves I photographed.. I LOVE water reflection photos and I love taking pics. And I wanted to post this because every bit of inspiration I have for my copper pieces, come directly from Nature herself.

And anytime I photograph nature, I ALWAYS see Nature within the piece. Copper is an organic byproduct of nature. I love nature, photography and Copper.

Custom pieces are always welcome.

"Turquoise Tides" is an abstract painting that draws you in with its compelling dual-panel composition. Each vertical segment dances with swirling patterns of copper and turquoise, evoking a sense of mystery and exploration. It is as if the artwork breathes with the rhythm of nature, echoing formations that could be seen in a distant landscape or the detailed lines of a topographic map. The interplay of metallic and oceanic hues creates a visual symphony that is both calming and invigorating, urging the viewer to lose themselves in its dynamic embrace.

The creation of this piece was indeed a unique experience, as it allowed me to delve deep into the process of copper patina. Watching the metal transform and react, developing shades that mimic the tide's ebb and flow, was nothing short of magical. This medium, with its natural variation, pushed me to embrace spontaneity, resulting in an artwork that stands as a testament to both the beauty of art and the unpredictability of nature.

"Turquoise Tides" is more than just a piece of art; it is a tribute to the world’s wondrous ability to shape, change, and inspire.

Allow yourself to be swept away by its vibrant energy and reflective calm, and perhaps, it will inspire your own tides of creativity and wonder.

As an artist, there is something profoundly exhilarating about revealing a new piece that has consumed both your imagination and your hands. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing "Butterfly Garden," my latest creation. This sizeable artwork measures 30 x 72 inches and is crafted using copper patina—a medium that breathes life into metal with surprising vibrancy.
"Butterfly Garden" is a mixed media piece that tells a story through its entwining metal leaves and vines. Each leaf is deliberately cut and stylized in the form of maple leaves. These leaves, with their metallic sheen, dance in shades of green, copper, and brown, casting reflections that shift with the changing light. It is as if the leaves are alive, whispering secrets from their own world.

The backdrop of this piece is not to be overlooked. The textured surface swirls with patches of turquoise and teal, providing an organic quality that invites viewers to lose themselves in its flows. It's this background that marries the entire artwork together, enhancing the natural elements of the metallic vines and leaves, making them part of a larger, pulsing garden.

Creating "Butterfly Garden" was a journey unique unto itself. This particular piece was born from a client commission, a collaboration of ideas and vision. The choice of mixed media allowed for a layering of depth and texture, challenging and delighting me at each twist and turn of the creative process. Engaging with copper patina brought its own surprises as colors emerged unpredictably, demanding spontaneity and adaptability.

"Butterfly Garden" stands as a testament to the beauty of organic forms and the potential of mixed media to encapsulate the essence of a lush, lively garden cast in metal. I hope it inspires viewers to find their own narratives within its complex, beautiful chaos. The marriage of client inspiration and artistic exploration has, I believe, resulted in an artwork that resonates with vitality and natural beauty.
