Two paintings finished

by | Oct 6, 2009 | , | 0 Comments



Finishing up a few paintings from COLONY.

I decided there was a lot of time between working on the diptych from the previous post and the five pieces from Colony. SO, I needed to finish up a couple of them and get them squared away.

These two needed very little…slight color variations to make for a more interesting variety was about it.

No titles yet…take that back..the 40 x 30″ painting is probably Little Pieces of Land 32 and the other one,30 x 30″ has something to do with Turquoise matrix but I’m not sure yet that will be the title.

It was very cloudy yesterday…these may need new pictures later when we have sun and I have time.

Back In The Studio

by | Oct 3, 2009 | , | 2 Comments

I don’t even want to look to see how long it’s been since I posted to this blog. SO many things come up. I have worked, but just not taken pictures or time to write anything.

Just before heading off to Colony I applied another layer to the beginning of a diptych I started. However, I never posted the last picture of the progress.I wanted to take it to Colony to work on but just ran out of space in the SUV to carry that many canvases.

Now here I am getting all those things that pile up while you are gone done……….and had to have a new central unit put in the studio.

Yaaay…..now I have not two paintings in progress, but SEVEN. That might be a few too many. I like keeping more than one thing going at a time so I can flit around between them all when I find I don’t know where else to go………….but SEVEN and the smallest is 30 x 30″……so lots of visual conflict.

SO..it’s a beautiful day so far so I better get into my painting clothes and out to the studio.

Bee Season at the Texas Discovery Gardens

At the Texas Discovery Gardens, Bee Season – Dallas News – Unfair Park (http://ping.fm/TAgAa)

I have been running like mad for a month. I went today over to Shreveport to trade out paintings with my gallery (Brunner Gallery) in Covington, LA.

But, got home and found this wonderful little review of the TX WAX -Dallas show that opened on the 4th…….and a little mention of my work from the “Paved Paradise series” included in the show. I was out of town when it opened. I know the group did a fantastic job of hanging the work as usual so I look forward to getting back to Dallas later this month to see the show. It will remain up through the first of January 2010.

If you don’t want to waste your money…don’t fly SW airlines Business Select. I did and I know it’s not worth it.

It’s a "Start with Red" day!

by | Aug 4, 2009 | , , | 0 Comments



Looks like today is a ‘start with red’ day. I’m back to working on the two 36 x 36″ canvases on the wall easel.Tired of waiting for painting payment to finalize. It will just have to wait while I paint since it’s too late for shipping today anyway.

Texturizer (Nova Lightweight Texture paste) is on already and I started to pull out paint, thinking, “hum ..what undertone for this one?”. Then I decided on Napthol Crimson…..good a color as any and it’s transparent which I like in under-painting tones. Then on to the Cad yellow. Hum..kinda liked those first shapes. Why doesn’t the end ‘product’ turn out as spontaneously? WELL…..it can’t, of course, because you have to make a painting, not just play around when it comes down to it.

At first though…fun to just start somewhere, anywhere, color or a mark. This one started with color and may not have any resemblance to the beginnings when I finally finish with it. I like color under my neutrals.

Oh yeah….that sale finally completed…………will ship tomorrow.
