Lavender Blue

Lavender is such a great color. I love it against this green. I just listed on ebay here
I think its a strong composition - I'll use it again and again with endless variations.

Abstract in Real Space

It's so fulfilling to see your work find a happy home!
This large abstract of mine was purchased by some good friends who took it home and framed it in a fantastic wood frame and fillet.

The work is on canvas, 22 x 28 inches. The piece hangs in their master bedroom and I'm thrilled that they love it.

ACEOs - Hot off the Easel

I'm trying some new techniques for applying the paint... here a combination of brushes and sponges - those sponges on a stick - worked great for blending sky colors -



These two are also from the same palette


All three ACEOs are listed on eBay here

Getting Ready

Now is the time of year that I have to prepare for the summer shows. Its nice to pull out old photo references while the cold winds blow and paint balmier days. This piece is 16 x 20 on hardboard. I listed it on eBay for a trial run, and of course its on WetCanvas in Open Critique.

Something Different

I've been playing with the idea of using a different vantage point and though a birds eye view would be interesting. I did try this earlier in an ACEO format and liked the results.

Today's piece is much larger - 15 x 30" and this composition seemed to morf the idea into something more graphic than 'painterly'.


I'm not done with this concept yet. In fact we saw the movie "Up in the Air" yesterday and so many scenes are the aerial views of the land from a plane that I got excited all over again but this!

The Epiphany Art Show

Im thrilled to be invited to participate in this celebration of the arts every January at the The Bath Church.
This slideshow shows just some of the wonderful work from Summit County

..and the snow just keeps on coming...

And I keep painiting it! Theres a certain clarity to these that I really like.

I listed these aceos on ebay here

In the mean time I'm finishing up a commission and taking lots of photos of the snow because I believe that someday it will get warm again.
