Sketchbook experimentation leads to new things. Rolling with it.
"In the Garden of" watercolor and graphite on paper, 2016.
Aegean
Sometimes (most times) I really miss the Aegean Sea. This is Livadia beach on Anti-Paros. Gouache watercolor on Cartiera Magnani paper.
When Life Gives You Lemons
You make dozens of drawings of Marlon Brando's eyes. All are charcoal pencil on paper.
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.)
West
"West" Acrylic on canvas. 2016. 11x14"
SOLD
A fever dream of purple cacti. Missing the west coast a lot lately.
New Year, No Sleep
"Searching" acrylic on wood panel. 2016.
In deciding to continue experimenting with my style, I forgot that it means I'll never sleep again. This piece kept me up til 5am.
Can't decide on a title, I was going to go with "Faceplant" but I have a love/hate relationship with puns.
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.
