Greetings & welcome to DreamScapes What is a dreamscape you might ask? A dreamscape is any visualization of an idea, vision, dream, or what have you, that contains some transcendent idea or beauty. A bizarre dream at night or a pleasant daydream on a sunny beach; both are equally dreamscapes. While some dreamscapes are unnatural or unusual in nature, others can be completely natural and realistic. Either way though their effect on us becomes "dream-like" as we muse on them. This artist's goal is to record some of them here. To the degree that "life is but a dream" we row our boats through DREAMSCAPES; paddling up and down rivers of our own consciousness. Herein is one oarsman's journey... “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” Pablo Picasso Just as this site is my portfolio, it's also my diary. Recording my experiences — my dreamscapes — through drawings, paintings, photography, and the written word. Many different styles are represented here; from realistic landscape drawings to surrealistic magical ones. From hand-drawn works to electronic imagery.There are four main streams (or diaries) represented by our icons (at left)... Dreamscapes Drawing & Painting Photography Writings Lastly, use the e-mail button to contact me with any questions or comments. Beginning from here, you will see a string of tabloid style pages with selected images and commentary regarding ...well, whatever seems of interest at the moment (life is but a dream... ya know). I invite you to join me as we look at news and views from Yaquina City, a small coastal village in the Parallel Universe (PU) of our own sea coast town of Newport, Oregon. Occasionally though I'll comment on current events, from local to global. Some of these views may ruffle your feathers a bit, but hey, any good dreamscape ought to be slightly unsettling, right? Special Feature: The Greenstone Inn; The fall of the Viking's Cottages and the rise of the Greenstone Inn. This Weeks Features: In a Fog, The Jonah Express, Matrix, Accumulated Wealth

Drawing and Paintings

Beginning at age 6 I picked up a pencil and I have never put it down; I've always drawn something. But for 30 years years I did not do very many fine art images.
Back at it now, and favoring the quiet surrealism of Renee Magrite & M,C. Esher, my images truly are dreamscapes. Pencil is my favorite medium, The stream beginning here features these drawings.
As you move backward through time, here, you will eventually come to some of my early works (sadly, the originals were destroyed in a fire), I apologize for the poor quality of these photos, but it seemed good to let you see some of my roots.
Other works should be the title of this stream which is dedicated to my "other images," including drawings, paintings and electronic images. I give myself license, here, to experiment with many different mediums, and adding electronica to this mix gets more intriguing to me every day.
Included in this string are a number of images I've done for church groups I have been affiliated with. Religious symbolism and inspiration are very powerful for me, and so I include them unashamedly; a good image is, after all, a good image, whatever the subject matter.
