Big-name cosmetics did not amuse Zene. Besides, she was beautiful enough, without it. She only put the lipstick on to humor her guest.

"Man With Flower II," Spray paint, oil paint, mixed media on masonite, 3'x4'
​This is a portrait of a man that I took on Venice Beach sitting on a bench.  Behind him is a trash can to show where he was sitting.  On the bench is a rainbow, to represent hope.  The image has both dark and light aspects.  He is in darkness, but the fluorescent colors are bringing light to the situation.  It is a painting and a collage.  There is a foam glitter heart sticker where his heart is, and there flowers in and around the trash can to show brightness from dark.  The umbrella is shelter, and the flowers represent growth.  There are plastic beads glued onto the painting in collage form to add to the areas of fluorescent color.

The graphite drawing “Osteoborg 2”, 2018, is part of a series of renderings of non-anthropomorphic organisms and future landscapes. This work explores speculative theories of exobiology and the fusion of feral technologies with biological ecosystems. The aspect of water implies reflection, alterations introduced by surface variations, and invisible depth, perhaps reflecting commonalities among all possible forms of life. Is there perhaps something we feel and share at a visceral level? When something catches your eye, does that mean you share affinity with it?

Taking care of two year old cubs can be exhausting.  This mother bear was able to sneak a brief nap.  These two cubs are bored and tired of playing in the nearby creek.  One of the cubs nudges mom to let her know he is ready for his fishing lesson while his sister serves as lookout.  A mother bear teaches her cubs and defends them fiercely.  These grizzly cubs will learn quickly and will not forget.   In the wild there is nothing more dangerous than a mother grizzly with cubs.  Award winning painting.  For more information go to www.ilenereed.com
 

Painting

  'The Light Within My Heart'  illustrates 
 
that our love and faith in God 
is the only TRUE light..that our belief, trust,  faith, and love ( the light) 
helps guide us through darkness- how it is an eternal light..
a light that can never be snuffed out as long as we believe... 
and that God Himself is the TRUE light and all is possible with HIM. 
The figure in the work is holding a lantern in one hand..
but the lantern is dark- 
it has gone out-it is not a TRUE light..but a worldly light..
but the light from the figure's  heart shines down 
onto the Bible ....God's WORD..the TRUE path..the TRUE way...
it  is internal, and eternal, and can never fail if one BELIEVES. Look closely and you will see that the light shines down on a passage from scripture; Matthew 19:26 - 'WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE'.
