A Swamp Day is a very active painting of mine. I got the inspiration for it at the Chattanooga Aquarium. I went there on my honeymoon and took many pictures. When I got home, I collaborated them into this active painting featuring a young alligator in his native home. I painted it in oil, and though it was the first time I painted a gator, I had lots of fun.

This one is written with the title, "Tulips" but I call it "Down Below". A very touching and personal piece of work. It represents beauty traveling deep down below into the depths of darkness to find herself.
Many people have a notion that outer beauty is everything. But they don't realize that it's just a shell. Inner beauty comes from within. Sometimes in order to become beautiful one has to go places alone and suffer things others don't know in order to come to terms with the fact that perfection is in fact flawed. Anything made by humans will always have error.
