The first 16″x16″ painting I have done for a while. It is nice to have a bit more room and surface to play with. I will be painting a bunch of these and some much larger paintings soon as well.

A catalog published for an art show. Fun to see your work in print even if the colors aren’t quite correct…
I asked for water
Oh wait, I did not!
Do you ever derail your own plans? I have been working on some ideas to move forward with for my next show. These water paintings are not part of that plan and yet I seem committed to them. I don’t know if I am sabotaging myself or just following my artistic spirit…
These are all 18×18″ paintings and I am thinking of bringing 3-5 of them to a finished state. Currently I am just roughing out motion and the gestures, really the heart. I am going to cull it down to my favorites and go from there.
I also plan on showing more “work in progress” if that is interesting to people? I know I like to see other people creating so I will give it a try. Either way spending my time in a filthy shirt with paint on my hands is the way to go!
even the moonlight is blinding
The moon always a powerful presence in the sky, night or day. It seemed like a good excuse to post the last few lines from a great song by an amazing songwriter…

And now the dark air is like fire on my skin

Blue Flat
Another study in desolation. A large squeegee and a few different flat brushes were used to paint this one.
Mist
A moody landscape painting that is reflective of the gloom and rain of our November.
Who?
This is a 10″ x 10″ owl painting I did. Originally I was doing a set of three but the third one refused to pan out. This one featured nice loose brush strokes and the paint had a really easy quality that I liked. The second owl painting was sold before I could get a proper photograph. Both paintings were done on a really thick translucent acrylic substrate and feature exciting depth allowing the light to reflect through the paint.
