“After the Rains” gouache on paper, 2023.
An exercise in letting go. Broke my brain a bit, but for the better (I think).
California, take two.
"I keep coming back" Ink & watercolor on paper, 2017.
It's been about seven years but I'm back in California and I'm pretty stoked about it. Sorry for the silence, the move was a three month long odyssey. So anyway, here's some new work.
Late Afternoon Camellias
"Late Afternoon Camellias" Oil on 12x12" canvas. 2016.
Another plein air piece from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in preparation for an upcoming spring show. This one was a serious challenge with the composition and the tricky lighting that was changing so rapidly as I painted, but it was well worth the effort. (Frozen solid hands and all.)
Mind vs. Mouth
When your brain and your mouth can't agree on what's going on.
"Mind vs Mouth" Acrylic & oil on canvas board, 2016.
Twenty Sixteen
I can't remember the last time I was so excited for a new year! I've got a lot in the works, and one of the projects I started nearly at the stroke of midnight on the 31st of 2015 is this:
"Wandering Meadow #1" Acrylic on 6 wood panels, 2015. SOLD
"Wandering Meadow" #2 SOLD
"Wandering Meadow" #2 SOLD
"Wandering Meadow" #2 SOLD
If I could realize this dream in large scale it would be that of a long wall stretching out of sight with carefully arranged canvases telling the small stories that a sprawling meadow keeps to itself.
Gather In the Midnight Meadows
"Gather In the Midnight Meadows" 2015 Acrylic and oil on canvas board.
Wondering what gathering in midnight flower fields would be like.
