	Portrait of the Artist in Dallol, oil on canvas, 36 x 48, 2019, $15,000 This image was taken by my daughter, Sceherazade Goertzel, so this is a joint venture! She took this picture with her cell phone as we explored the amazing terrain of Dallol, Ethiopia. It was about 130 degrees fahrenheit, and she was quickly becoming weak with heat stroke She had to be carried back to the car, and we're so grateful she survived!
	Hawaiian Dream, oil on canvas, 18 X 24, 2018, $700 This is an image that I took in Hawaii. I've seen and loved these plants in many places, but I couldn't tell you what type of plant it is.
	Imaginary Angst, oil on canvas, 18 X 24, 2018, $400 This is very different from my usual painting these days, though not unlike some of my old work. It seems like it doesn't belong! However, this painting is pivotal to painting in the Zen manner, taking a break from the intense looking I otherwise do. It is very freeing, painting from within instead of without. This was just me using the leftover paint from my previous painting, a quick and very free painting!
