I painted six small water paintings. These are 10″x10″, so fairly small. The painting I singled out with a close up I am giving to my niece for Christmas… Just wrapped it!

Night Clouds
Blue is such a powerful color. I’m continuing my efforts with atmospheric clouds but in a more nocturnal setting. These are two of my most recent works.
Heaven Knows
Clouds, the mighty transporters of water, are a beautiful presence above. Morphing and shifting they are never the same from moment to moment. Casting darkness as they steal the sun’s light they set the tone, create a mood. There is a meditative quality to clouds, something primitive and soothing. To me painting clouds creates that same hypnotic feeling, I hope the result echoes the creation.
The Boatman
N
This was one of a black bird series I was working on a few years ago. Part of that time period where I was creating paintings in unstable ways and letting them crack, run or erode. I liked the idea of a paintings forming with me just guiding the process. I have completely changed the way I paint a number of times since then but it is interesting to look back.
Head in the clouds
I have been playing around with some atmospheric cloud images. This is a sample of a work in progress.
Moon and Field
Another moon related painting. This one had some interesting texture variations in the sky.
Gloom & Yellow
A simple cloudscape that I completed the other day. This one has a lot of subtle character that was difficult to capture with the camera.
The Rain
This is a 10×10″ painting I completed recently. I keep getting pulled back to clouds and atmosphere.
have a seat…
An empty chair is a vacant place. To some an inviting spot to rest their bones. When I paint one it is a lonesome nowhere (maybe that’s just me).
