Take the religion of Wicca, add some science fiction elements, and the result is this. My impressions of a cosmic renewal. A large statement piece.

This was painted last year - before any final launch plans were made for the Artemis missions to the moon. I wanted to bring attention to Artemis herself. She is the Sister Goddess to Apollo. It's nice to see her included in the current moon journeys.

This painting started as a mere color exercise. But it received such a positive response from viewers, that I decided to complete it with a silhouette of the Apollo Lunar Module, and Command Module, joined together. Both ships traveled together to the moon, then the Lunar Module would separate for lunar descent.

I am happy to report this won the First Place Professional Award at the 2025 Chattacon science fiction convention. This depicts the Apollo space programs' lunar module blasting off from the moon, and returning to Earth.

A painting of my friend Emma with her magical coffee. This is painting is a result of many preliminary life drawing sessions.

White glue was used to create the underlying drawing. The dried glue acts as a resist for the watercolor.

Painted for a friend some years ago. He is no longer with us, but his sister graciously returned this framed painting to me.

This illustrates the space shuttle entering the Earth atmosphere. This is the shuttle as it begins to slow down from Mach 25 to Mach 9 as it crosses California. Ultimately, it will land in Florida on a runway.

Over the years I have learned the importance of these four basic elements. Presented here with my friend, Ashley. The drawings were made very quickly. Perhaps only 3 hours of time passed when I made these...I suspect a Divine Spirit guided my hand. No kidding.

A very old painting from college. It won an award when I was attending Savannah College of Art and Design. It seems prophetic - the subject matter, and style.

I almost lost this drawing. It is another product of life drawing sessions that I arrange.

An early watercolor. Produced after I read my first book on the Wiccan religion.
