Here’s the second installment of my new mini-series inspired by Ruby.

I’m starting a new mini-series with Ruby as the inspiration. Ruby is one of my all time favorite little paintings. Here’s Ruby Blue, acrylic on paper, 7 x 5 inches.

After a 2-month break on this painting for a soul-inspiring trip to New Orleans, this painting is now underway. Again. Part of my process is that just when I think I’m finished, I go back in to fix something or make it better. Just a quick little change, I tell myself. Shouldn’t take more than…

This painting came out of a conversation between Melissa, Carol Robinson, and me. Collaboration is a wonderful thing!

Recipe: start with a painting of an easel called “The Forbidden Red Wing,” clear the negative space, create your text path, cogitate for a spell, wiki till you find that perfect something and obfuscate with a liberal dose of latin.

I’ve been having fun working with the second houseghost and making new variations. Here’s the original followed by two new versions.

I just put the finishing touches on the fourth houseghost. One of my favorite parts is the plant, of all things. Time for a Kaliber.

What once was black and white is now getting a splash of color.

Here’s the latest houseghost progression. For the past few paintings I’ve been trying out a new technique — creating a black/white/gray image first, then overlaying color. What I’ve discovered is that oftentimes the intermediate steps are fine and could be finished images all on their own.

This houseghost took six weeks to fully form. Here’s a little slideshow of the many phases of Jo the Houseghost. Cast your vote for which point in the painting I should have stopped fiddling with it!

Step by slow step, Jo the houseghost emerges from the darkness.
