One last study before starting a 36”x24” commission. This one is a loose take on the composition, values and colors. The large painting will be much more detailed but I love the loose vibe and motion of this small take.
Composition
Category: painting
Leaves of Light
Morning light shining through the fall leaves, hard not to love such a delight. I was greeted with fresh snow this morning, winter is eager.
Long Before (SOLD)
Varnished, framed, packed and shipped. It all takes a lot of extra time but it is a critical part of the gig. This one is now in the hands of FedEx, shipping to Alabama.
Grove
I just finished this small misty piece. It has some really intriguing marks and subtle color shifts I really like.
Disappearing
This one resides in Kirkland, Washington with some of my favorite people.
Break
More wave experiments before starting a large commission.
Seasons End (final)
I finished this apocalyptic beauty over the weekend. This image is from a high resolution photograph in my studio this morning.
Love of Gold
More inspiration from the forest. I am very fortunate to live close to a National Forest trailhead. I have been using it constantly and it renews my inspiration daily. With so much snow already building up, not sure if I will be able to keep it up… I will try.
Abstraction (R.W.)
Simplification and abstraction, concepts I play with to varying degrees in my work. This little painting is all about the feel of light.
Water to Shore
A nice bit of drama with this piece. I am starting a large commission so I have been doing some related studies.
