Small works for Bainbridge
These are some of the smaller paintings I will have at next Friday’s show at the BPA. I am bringing 22 paintings which might be too much for the space… time will tell.
Shrouded Sun
I put a floating frame on this 18″x24″ painting. I am hoping to have eight paintings of this size as part of my show opening March 2nd on Bainbridge Island. I still have a lot to do!
Distant
I love the power and ever shifting appearance of clouds. Giants of the sky decorating the blue or bringing in weather.
I have been working on a series featuring clouds. This is one I finished recently, it captures a bit of magic for me…
This acrylic painting is 16″x16″
The High and Low
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.
Big Open
30″x24″ this painting is going to a solo show at the Lower Columbia College in Longview, Wa. There are 27 paintings going to this show!
Shipping work
I am excited to be mailing off more work to Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento, California. I have been sending work there for more than a year now and it is nice to have another venue for my paintings.
I am doing a final coat of varnish on these paintings before I ship them to California. I have struggled over the years with the best way to seal my acrylic paintings. Acrylic tends to stick to acrylic so if you do not varnish the work you will end up with a mess at some point! I am currently using Liquitex professional high gloss varnish. So far I am very pleased as it dries quickly and creates a really nice protective layer!
Just Waiting
I switched it up slightly with a smaller painting board, this one is 24″x18″.
Evening Sky
A little expressive 9″x12″ sky and water painting!
