Intro and news

For some of you returning to the Opening, there may be some surprises. A new design for the site as a whole is gradually coming into place.

Many of these original works are for sale, and I can make prints of many things here to order, using high-quality inkjet inks and papers (sometimes called giclée).

New openings include:
Green Door New photo series - February 2009. An adventure in New Orleans - come into the magic garden.
Avenue, a continuing series of street scenes of New Orleans. New paintings added recently: St. Peter Street Morning and Dave's House After Hurricane Gustav
Naissance, another continuing series of paintings depicting a new mythology.

Many elements of the old site are still around, including:
Fenestration. The 81 photographs of the first series are still here, but keep an eye out - I'm working on a whole new series, and will soon to begin to display it here.
Clearing Openings in the forest - two series of photographs, one of which illustrates a poem
Eye A group of three abstract paintings.
Entrance Stories told in abstract computer-generated images.
Emergence A poem illustrated with photographs.
Sky A poem illustrated with three abstract paintings.

Where do I go from here?
