This is an especially contemporary acrylic painting for me. I was experimenting with materials and ideas with no clear destination.
I won’t lead the viewer, I had a lot of ideas when painting and composing this image. Now looking at the finished piece I have other ideas. What does this painting say to you?
I just finished this 16″x16″ mixed media painting. I really like the mood of this particular painting.
Here is a work in progress. This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
This is a painting I did a couple of years ago. I stumbled across it while trying to clean out my studio.
Different approaches to the same sort of imagery I still work on. I now paint almost exclusively with translucent paint. This painting is a more traditional approach with a warm under paint and opaque colors built upon that. It still has a lot of interesting translucent passages but looks a bit “overworked” to me now.
Another atmospheric painting in progress. This painting is 16″x16″.
This painting is a work in progress. As the trees are growing leaves around me I am getting around to a winter tree image I have had in mind for a while!
This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
This is a landscape painting I have mostly finished at this point. It is another 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
This is a loose and simple painting I recently completed. It is a 16″x16″ acrylic inspired by the waterways of the Pacific Northwest!
This is a piece that is currently drying. The sky is very soft but the foreground has an interesting dappled texture because the paint beaded up as it started to dry. Odd result but kind of interesting… I’m always excited by unusual paint behavior!
