“New” Work – Woodland Spring

Sometimes when I start a painting, believing I have a clear flow and direction, I am often surprised by the little voice that says, “stop, take a break, and look again.”  Over the years, I have learned to listen to this voice.  Sometimes, after taking a break from a painting, I will literally approach the canvas from a new direction.  Perhaps the light has changed, or even the music on the CD player is different.  A range of variables come into play.  When I created the work you see here, “Woodland Spring” I found the painting that was waiting to be discovered by completely changing the direction of the canvas.  I hope you like what I have created for you.  Feel free to comment

Another Painting is starting its journey in a new home

I am so pleased that one of the paintings I created earlier this year was sold during my recent open studio event.  When I finish a painting, its journey is just beginning.  It leaves my studio to become part of it’s new owner’s art journey.  The work is called, “Sirocco” which is the word that is used to describe the hot deserts winds found in North Africa.

New Work

Even though the holidays were very busy for me and my family, I still found some time to spend with my paints and my canvases.  As I mentioned in previous posts, sometimes a painting needs more time to get settled and to truly expose itself.  This new work, which I call “Plumes and Booms” is another example.  It began life as a contrast study in black and white.  I hope you like what you see now.  Please feel free to comment.
