Some of my other artwork

One of my first sold oil paintings:



A stained glass I did:



I dont like acrylic on canvas... leave it for miniatures!
This is my frustration being taken out on acrylic on canvas.



An attempt at modern geometrism with a bit of comedy... again I dislike acrylic on canvas but keep trying.



(WIP)An oil I've been working on for a few months off and on that I just can't get to look how I want to finish it.

An excerpt from Qingyuan

Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters.
When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters.
But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest.
For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters.


This really opened my eyes the first time I read it, I try to think of it daily. I hope that it will impact others as it did me.
