Another one of the several paintings I have produced this past week-it's title was going through my mind with each brush stroke, every line, and semi-circle. Finally, standing back from it late last night, I was melancholy yet grateful at the same time. No quick fix can take away what life's curves that cause pain will do, but in that uncertainty of a world that can seem at times cruel and without purpose, I have the only reprieve I have every known, creativity. It is, for me, the only thing that is certain. Acrylic on canvas 30"x30" 7/8" depth. Gallery wrapped, back-stapled, sides painted, and ready to hang "as is." Finished with two coats of UV protective gloss varnish. This painting holds many emotions and was made with intense purpose. It is a reflection (one can only hope) of movement, change, the silence, the HOWL, and somewhere, within the tones and curves, is me. For purchasing info: http://www.yessy.com/richards

When I was in second grade, we managed to build an elevated "treehouse"-which became, for the local girls in our mostly' boy dominated neighborhood", a sanctuary of magical proportions. We could see all three streets and where they came together-from our secret meeting place, and it served us well, until, like all good things, they (the local boy bullies) discovered it and it came to an end...but for that wonderful and scary innocent time in our lives, it was our mansion, a FORT, our refuge.

This is my favorite peice from a series I did of oil pastels in June of 2007. Original is not for sale. Limited edition prints are available for this very special painting that is really best appreciated closely, preferably larger in format, so as to see every detail and nuance, of which there are many.

This is another acrylic on canvas-24"x.75"x30" in size. Back stapled and sides painted, it is a premium gallery wrapped canvas. I picked earthy rustic tones and applied them with a wide flat brush, sometimes blending the colors, sometimes just focusing on the stroke of the brush and the way the paint, thick on the brush, spread across the canvas. Later-added some pastels, and blended them quite a bit. I also softened the colors. You can see the lighter re-working of the painting quite clearly.

Acrylics on 18"x24" heavy paper-textures, gold, red, and turquoise tones make this peice my latest favorite. Needs to be framed-but definitly worth it!
