Black Magic Woman

8×10” Acrylic paint with acrylic markers on carved and painted linoleum block

She started out as just a portrait piece, but she wanted the vibes showing her power. So of course, I complied. Can’t you just feel her energy radiating out in every direction?

And now I can’t get the Santana song out of my head… 🎶

Do you like it? If you do, imagine what fun it would be having this original artwork delivered right to your door (like where else would it get delivered?).

 If you do like this painting, please share – because it really helps!

All work is for sale, Pay What You Want. Seriously. I don’t believe that original art should be available only to those with deep pockets. Not every art lover has deep pockets. So just tell me what price works for you. (You pay the shipping, though.😊)

Let me expand on that a bit: It’s not that I don’t think artists shouldn’t get paid well, because of course I do. But here’s the thing — My patrons (patreon.com/spyderwebb) keep me in art supplies. Social Security keeps a roof over my head and food on the table. So after a full career in art I can now indulge my mission of making original art accessible to those who ordinarily wouldn’t be able to afford it. That’s it! So if you can pay a high price, thank you! But if not, don’t be embarrassed to tell me what works for you, because I’d be truly glad to help you own one of my original pieces at a price that you can afford.

La Parisienne

5×7″ Acrylic and acrylic markers on carved linoleum block

A bit stereotypical but she gets the Paris vibe across, don’t you think? Confident, sure of herself and her culture, ready for the next baguette! You can almost imagine hearing the waves of music with Edith Piaf singing in the background somewhere.

Do you like it? If you do, imagine what fun it would be having this original artwork delivered right to your door (like where else would it get delivered?).

This is mounted linoleum, so it’s a bit heavier than my recent work. The sides are painted black so you can hang it unframed, but if you want it framed, I suggest going to a professional frame shop. It will be shipped with hanging hardware attached.

Angel Saying “Hi”

Angel Saying “Hi”
16×20” acrylic on canvas panel

Angels can show themselves in any form they want. And as for a sense of humor… but of course! Major metaphysical photobomb.

I haven’t done portraits for the last few years, and I was getting burned out with the dot paintings. I’ve been playing with this technique for the last couple of weeks and I really like it. I’m eager to try it with landscapes and other genres too.

I’m thinking of doing a portrait series on historical figures — what do you think?

White Feather

white-feather

Steely determination. Implacable dignity.

And a refusal to be homogenized, defined or commodified by the forces of a passing moment in history regardless of its seeming might.

True to herself.

Beauty in strength.

Still here.

Watchful

watchful

Just watchful. Relaxed. Alert.

And ready. Definitely ready.

But it may not be what you think. This is a modern man at a 21st century powwow, thoroughly living in the now world, and at the same time standing in oneness with his ancestors.

Who also lived in their now world.

Standing as someone who refuses to be co-opted by the current madness.

Not trendy, though occasionally trending.

Knowing deeply who he is, a two legged creature among the four leggeds, the sky beings, those who fly and those who crawl or swim, the star beings, and the tall ones, those whose lives are measured in millennia, and those whose lives flash like a spark before they’re gone.

Relaxed. Alert.

Alive.

The Turban

Turban

A Cherokee type of headwear, picking up on some exotic imports from the far east via a visit to the English king in 18th century London. Lots of different styles according to clan and individual taste, they were all the rage for the well dressed Cherokee man for a good hundred years, give or take.

So back then it wasn’t the guys wearing turbans that were the terrorists, it was the guys pouring out of the tall ships with the funny three cornered hats and foreign religious ideas that were running amok tearing up the joint and generally making everybody’s life miserable.

Funny how things change.

But then, sooner or later, they always do.
