The Mushroom Collector

Quirky oil painting image of a forest with looming Beech trees and a field. Yellow leaves falling all around. Deep in the painting you can notice a man in red with a sack on his shoulder, presumably a mushroom collector.

The leaves falling in Autumn has always captured my imagination. I love the dark moody weather and the colorful blots of soft background foliage.

It is not for sale.

Lilith

A sensusous woman in a yellow bikini top emerging from the water in a forest of greenery

Lilith

The traditional and mythological lore is that Lilith refused to submit to be subservient to Adam and left Eden. She was later demonized in folklore.  Sound familiar? A woman, cast away because she wanted to have her own mind and be treated equal. She has wings, as they appear in the mythology- I show her partnered with the feminine spirit of the world, Nature, or Gaia,  very much in charge of her domain.

This is available for purchase. Contact Lauren for more information.

This painting of Lilith won an Honorable Mention at a NJ Art Association Juried Show.

Mikey and the Goose

The neighboring property has a beautiful barn, and I often see this boy running to feed the poultry. He’s always running. Inside the barn you will see the ghosts of goats past.

Garden Bench

A personal painting that represents paradise to me. A perfect day on the planet. Far from the hub bub of usual activities. A haven. The dog, a Shih Tzu, was Zoey in a favorite place. However she is not with us anymore.  Use this link to buy cards and prints of this painting.

Red Calla Lilly

For many years there was a wholesale plant farm called Hamilton Farms in Denville, NJ. This was from an image I photographed onsite whilst walking through the greenhouses. Now the farm has gone, sold out to a Canadian owned pot farm. You can smell the drying processing reefer as you drive by.

Fallen or Plucked, same difference

Live your lives like a fruit. And know that whether you fall or are plucked early you are all the same. The dust of your cells will be food for the new branches.

Somewhere between steampunk and grunge is a new phenomena in the classic car culture called “rat rods” . I found these dull, time worn, road-beasts of the past to be surprisingly beautiful and extremely photogenic. These are my favorites.
