Full Metal

10" x 8" oil on board
sold

This painting was inspired by the gift of a small painting by Simon Addyman I received for Christmas.  It is a 6" x 6" oil that up close feels like abstract color notes but from a distance it very clearly feels like a market scene.

When looking at this set up that a student was working on, the jumble of silverware was very hard to discern one piece from the other.  Although my perspective was admittedly not the best I enjoyed the task/chore of making it read without clearly identifying each piece of silver.

After The Rain

36" x 36" oil on gallery wrap board

I just finished this large piece and am excited that it will be going to Chemer's gallery in the hope to find a new home.  

It was great fun painting large for a change!

Contact me or the gallery for more information.

This one is titled "Soup?" with a question mark only because I don't remember the original title of it.  This and other specially priced paintings can be found on the DPW auction site here.

On this first day of 2014, I want to wish all of you a happy New Year filled with joy and prosperity.  The gift of your support as a viewer of this blog supports me in ways that I cannot adequately express, but please know that it has always meant a lot to me and to my art.

In looking back over the past year, I realize that my postings have been way down to almost half of the previous year.  That was not because I wasn't painting but because I was not making the kind of art that excites me.  I am still struggling with that a bit but I am trying to do things to shake things up including letting go of the many, many pieces of art that sit in my studio and garage.

I will be painting anew on many of these pieces in order to stretch and play, at least that is my plan. The painting "Rooftop Abstract" above is the first of these.  I am putting it on the DPW auction with a starting bid of $1 with the hope of it finding a new home.  Shipping and handling will still apply.
