This is an older painting that I sold three years ago. This time of year I am looking at past work as I begin work for the new year. I am always experimenting and trying to create something unique, beautiful and emotional.
Work continues, patterns reveal. Painting is always an exploration with endless potential like the best things in life.
I am putting together a couple collections of small works. These will be available later in the fall at a couple of galleries TBD.
A new atmospheric painting on the easel. I had prepared six 12” panels that are my current focus in the studio. Next week I will be moving on to some larger work.
A new colorful painting in the studio this morning. I have six 12”x12” panels and I am dedicating them all to water imagery.
Fall, entering the dark season. It brings some melancholy with the beauty. Chasing the vibe on some small panels.
I really dig this small painting. As an artist I am always chasing something intangible, some kind of magic. I can really feel it when it is there. I used to feel endless disappointment in my work, now I am really into what I do but it is the exceptional vibe I pursue.
I spent the morning framing and packing this new painting. It was purchased by a collector of my work that lives in Colorado. I had this one on a shelf in my studio, paintings I was planning to hold on to. I am pleased to send it to someone that loves it as much as I do.
This large new painting is freshly varnished, waiting on a frame. It will be heading to Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. One of two paintings I will be exhibiting in their “Cloudy” show opening on August 4th.
A small painting on the easel. I love the mark making and flow that this little painting exhibits. More ideas to pursue…”
