I seem to be painting a lot of clouds these days. Giant powerful and full of mood they have always fascinated me so I am simply following my interests. This particular painting is 16″x16″ acrylic / open acrylic painting on cradled board.
As a painter I am striving to paint work that feels unique and new with a fresh vibrant use of color and mark making. The goal is a bit like shooting at the moon, I realize it is impossible but it doesn’t stop me. This particular painting is simple but encapsulates a lot of what I am striving for.
This 24″x18″ painting has a loose quality I really like. I have chosen it to promote my upcoming show on Bainbridge Island. Currently I am completing work for a different show in Longview but I am planning for both!
This 16″x16″ acrylic painting is fresh from yesterdays easel. I took a break from the work required for the two upcoming solo shows and just enjoyed the process of creating… it is after all everything.
This 24″x30″ painting is a little glimpse of summer in the middle of our winter.
Another moody cloudscape!
This is a detail from a 24″x18″ painting. I was pretty happy with this but like it better cropped. So it might be time to scrub it.
A little expressive 9″x12″ sky and water painting!
I am wrapping up this 36″x36″ cloud painting I did on commission. I realized it looks pretty good in my living room! It is off to California regardless.
My two recent forest paintings together! Each acrylic painting is 24″x30″ on aluminum panel.
