MESSAGES

__________________________________________________________________________ Spirit Crows…messengers of change. This is a mixed media piece on masonite board. The whole piece is much, much larger, but i zoomed in on the crows. They were born of white pastel which i chose for it’s ghostly quality…it can disappear with a slight touch. Why the crows? Well, i have crows in a lot of my work because i have always been intrigued by them, and count them among [...]

Wisdom of the Acorn

Wisdom of the Acorn ©Morri (click on image to enlarge) This is a piece that I did a few years ago… a miniature still life. It’s one of leaves with an acorn as the main subject. It remains in my possession, and it is another one that I will not sell. It sums up how I feel about life…especially my own. First, let me tell [...]

Changing or dying…

   Good morning all. I just wanted to wish you a good day.    I am going to go through my photos this morning to continue with the little paintings. I may call that series…wood and water.  Then again night and day comes to mind, because I noticed the pieces are that.  I seem to have as much trouble titling pieces or series as I do painting them.

Painting tomorrow

    Well, the meeting went very well.  I will only need 10 to 12 pieces so I will be painting some new ones.

gallery shows & trash bugs

Earth Music…and lessons from Ringo

     Hello all….I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday. It is a beautiful day in my little part of the world. Maybe it is my imagination, or wishful thinking on my part, but I swear I feel a touch of fall in the air. I know I mentioned it the other day so please forgive my [...]
