a favorite bowl... the war bowl

I've been waiting for a chance to purchase the 'war bowl'. ever since
I saw it, i was fascinated by it's beauty and it's creative genius.
It's created with a series of melted plastic toy soldiers. The one I
saw was originally in blue. I had wanted white. I'm glad I found
one...

I'm reminded of beauty, light and in a small way... it allows me to
honor those fallen, from time past that served their country, whomever
they are and wherever they may be.

If you're interested in one of these, they can be found at Thorsen Van Elton

The Sunken Cowboy -

Here's a painting that I've always liked. It's about the irony of having 'fun' taken away by someone... and for a reason that is sometime... unknown. I painted this originally in 2001 and I've returned to the idea in 2003 when I painted this for a show in Seattle.
