More snow coming, more winter paintings ahead. It felt like spring was coming early, I knew it was just a temporary state. Just another excuse to paint some more winter imagery. There is a feeling I am chasing with some of these works… so more opportunities.
A couple of colorful mini paintings! I am painting tiny paintings as I work on large scale pieces. Keeping the plates spinning.
Continuing on with my forest imagery. I am putting together a collection of paintings for my “Woodlands” exhibit opening in May. The exhibit is at Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan.
A meditation cloaked in winter.
The title sounds like I am putting down some nice lady but I don’t know any Dawns!
One of five paintings framed and almost ready to ship to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. Framing, installing hardware and taking final photographs always takes longer than I remember. Trying to get some work finalized this Sunday so that I can play with paint in the morning.
I Finalized these seven 5″x5″ paintings. Now I just have to make it to town so I can ship them off! They are headed to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Two of my mini paintings that will be shipping to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I believe I am sending 7 of these small paintings. Abend will be taking them to an LA exhibit.
Another one of my mini paintings. This piece is off to the Netherlands.
I just started a YouTube channel! I have been meaning to do this for years, people constantly asking me if I have one. Well now I do!
In the last week I posted a few super short clips I filmed in the studio. Today I edited my first proper video with text and music. I occasionally put together videos in my other life as a video game artist. It was so rare though that the software was always new to me and it took ages to sort out. So this one I put together with iMovie on my Apple laptop. Having never used iMovie, I was hesitant but it was incredibly simple. Check it out if you get a chance. I will be doing a lot more work on YouTube in the coming year!
I am painting a group of 5″x5″ paintings for an upcoming exhibit with Abend Gallery. In the future I want to work on a mix of tiny and large paintings. Small works are such a great way to experiment and play with color schemes etc.
