I don’t like to plan, so much to do. Grand aspirations only seem to disappoint. The tedious artistic attitude, dissatisfied with work. I appreciate the positives regardless of the height. Nothing competes with the feeling of creation. Something new and alive, glimpsed through the pane.
Another one of my mini paintings that will be heading to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I have done 10 of these little guys in 2020.
As I write this we are buried in snow. It’s such a dramatic and beautiful change to the scenery. Of course it also pretty challenging at times!
I made a YouTube video about the creation of this painting. Check out my channel if you get a chance!
5”x5”, acrylic paintings
Packing up some small works that I recently sold.
Taking a little break from my forest and snow painting. Just a brief break as the snowpocalypse makes it hard to forget!
Work in progress on this snowbound passage.
Light, color and atmosphere are some of the elements I am obsessed with. So a small sunset painting before I really dig into the winter and forest imagery I am inspired to do.
This summer at my show opening a woman asked me, “do you just try to come up with pretentious titles for your work?” Truth is I don’t really try that hard.
