Experimental Crow
This is an older piece. An experiment in texture, color and paint application. The results were interesting but chaotic.
Totem
Sometimes I will do little abstract studies. I generally only reference them for color or interesting brushwork or mark making. This one stuck with me a bit. It led to a lot of other representational ideas but not sure they captured the simple allure of this.
Blackbird
This painting is a few years old. I was working in a very different way back then. Still focused on translucent acrylic colors but I was building up heavy translucent textures. The result was something that looked a lot like encaustic. I found too much time was spent waiting for heavy acrylic mediums and not enough time with a brush. Still there were some interesting results at times.
Mist on the wall
I put the hardware on this 20″x20″ acrylic painting.
Silent
Know Your Place
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?
Open Country
I just finished this 16″x16″ mixed media painting. I really like the mood of this particular painting.
Dark Sky
Here is a work in progress. This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
