Steam rises from the cast-iron Asian teapot. Brightly-colored teacups are filled with tea. Purple sweet pea flowers adorn the table. A Siamese cat drifts off to sleep. This landscape, inspired by the Japanese Tea Ceremony, is offered as a pendant, hand crafted by the artist from my original artwork. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.

An 18 1/2" earthy tribal beaded necklace of copper, stone, wood and handmade polymer clay beads completes this unique piece. If you would prefer a different length, let me know at the time of the sale (no additional charge).

Listed on Bonanzle at only $59.

My first "zen dog" painting, "Oak Tree Meditation":

After hiking to the top of a hill, a figure sits beneath an oak tree. A Yellow Labrador Retriever faithfully keeping watch. A luminous full moon rises over the California hills, washing everything in purple and lavender. This visionary landscape is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" staple-free sides are finished off in purple acrylic).

Size: 14" x 11". Prints are available.

Golden Gate Bridge pendant, from my original oil painting:

Winter Peace

Rounding a twisted cypress tree, the Golden Gate Bridge comes into view. Sailboats flutter around San Francisco Bay. This California seascape, from the Land's End trail, is offered as a pendant, hand crafted by the artist from my original painting. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.

Suitable for a man or woman, an adjustable knotted cord is included so the piece is ready to wear and will fit most sizes (these are adjusted by sliding the knots and don't have a metal clasp). If you would prefer a black cord, or a cord of a particular length with a clasp instead, let me know at the time of the sale (no additional charge).

Here is my latest painting, "Timeless Peace":

Timeless Peace Sign Iguana Lizard Reptile Original Painting Art

The full moon illuminates two iguanas. The tree branches have arc'd to form a peace sign. The tree is Colvillea racemosa. This hope-filled piece, part of the Zen Mandala modern art series (visionary landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" staple-free sides are finished off in black acrylic).

Size: 14" x 11". Prints are available.
