Three from the Sea
Tag: studio
Grand (final)
I did a major rework of this painting from last fall.
Summer Storm
One of fifteen new paintings ready to pack up and send to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
My Dad and I will be heading out on a Montana road trip together to drop off all of this work.
WIP
Currently working on this piece in the studio. Layering colors and working with values to create the light.
Intersections in Time
Something special in this one. I am always chasing that emotional connection in my work. It continues to drive me on.
I am really excited to be back in the studio after a vacation down to warmer country. The studio is the one place where possibilities seem endless. It is difficult and frustrating but still an escape from the crush of life.
Update (studio)
I am working on a few 18” x 24” paintings at the moment. I posted this one a bit ago, this is the latest update! Things are starting to click into place now, just a bit more refining ahead on this piece.
I sometimes consider selling everything and retiring to a smaller life… I just can’t stop doing what I do.
A little water (sold)
Yesterday I shipped off this new painting to an art collector in Massachusetts! The buyer chose no frame but rather gold leaf edges (visible in the video). This all resulted in a lovely piece. The downside is I have gold flakes all over the studio floor.
Giants
I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
On and On
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.
Fading Day
A new painting in the studio. We have had some pretty spectacular sunsets of late. I was inspired to capture that ethereal fade of light.
I am preparing a lot of small boards and will be painting many small works this summer.
