original paintings - sketches - carvings - other stuff - writing

These are some of what I call my sketches. They are quick to come out and are the base originals that most of my paintings are done by as well as more to come. If you look near the bottom left of "Dreamsape 2" in the larger view, you will notice elements done in 1975 that became the theme of the Yin Yang series started about 10 years later. The sketches cover a time period between 1975 and present.

In 1983, while vacationing in Mexico, before we were married, Sonja and I combined our talents to create these 6 pieces that we call "A Nice Pair. They are done with a mapping pen and india ink. We would each start drawing - doodling - and after 15 minutes or so or when one of us would get stuck and say "Switch". We would immediately switch the drawings and continue on with the others piece. This would happen 5 or 6 times until the drawings were finished.The 3rd set of drawings were not quite finished before Sonja had to return to Germany and I, Canada. We tried mailing back and forth to finish them but shortly there after, the 3rd set was lost. Lucky, photos were taken and those were scanned in for putting up here. The top row was started by Sonja and the bottom by myself.
