New Pear Painting

by

Not yet titled (suggestions welcome!), 8×10 in, oil on canvas, not yet available.


I’m so happy with how this turned out! I’m hanging onto it so I can reflect on what I like while I’m painting tomorrow…

And here’s my little setup. I’m using construction paper for some color in the background.

On a side note, you can see that everything is on a table. I set it up that way so that it would be easy to film for my workshops. But my goal for this year is to get green and healthy, and I feel healthier standing up! So I’ll be making a setup that’s at eye level while standing and adjusting my workshop filming stuff accordingly.

Have a great day!

“Spring Wildflowers” and art show announcement

by

Spring Wildflowers, 36 x 48 inches, oil on canvas

Very excited to be sending four brand new paintings down to the “Pop of Color” show at Southwind Art Gallery in Topeka, KS, opening on April 5th. I’m planning to be at the reception on April 5th. If you’re in that area, I hope to see you there.

This painting started off a while back and while I really liked the subtle, hazy quality to the distant area, I wasn’t happy with the foreground. But over the weekend, after working on several smaller paintings for this color show, I realized that even with the river, this painting could really benefit from a path in. I added in the colorful wildflower and green grass path, and now I think it’s pretty lovely. Sometimes you need something bright to really show off something subtle – or vice versa.

New Artwork, and a new art gallery Web site

by

Hi Art Enthusiasts!

Deep Waters, 20″x16″, mixed media. Available.

I think this is my prettiest, most interesting abstract painting so far. Hope you enjoy.

As you may know, I like to re-work my web sites occasionally. I have just finished a new site for my abstract work: colorful-abstract-art.com/ . There you’ll see available paintings, as well as a way to order custom paintings.

I hope you’ll check it out. Feel free to let me know what you think.
