CARVINGS - My most recent works are small relief carvings, framed for wall mounting.

SOME OF DAVE'S PAINTINGS (2008) - My first class in the UT Art Department was George Bogart's Design 101 and I sat at a table with Dave Elliott, a pleasant young fellow from Plainview, Texas. Through the years, I've known noone else as dedicated as Dave to being a painter. A while back, seeing the finished paintings stacked in the rafters of his studio, I conceived the idea of a film using those images…so here it is.

The soundtrack is from the 1981 Penguin Café Orchestra album. I often danced around the living room to the music on that album, with our infant son in my arms. I was dismayed to find, when researching licensing of the piece used in this film, that Simon Jeffes, co-founder and leader of the PCO, died in 1997 at the age of 48.
