Great display at Gallery San Juan

2010-05-16T13:38:00.000-07:00

The show was great!

The unveiling of "Tenderness" was the highlight for me.

"Into the Light"

New for the show on May 15th

"Into a Bright Future" 14x11

Here I have a painting that has a lot meaning to me.

My grandson in this poignant scene that needs no explanation.

"Foggy Glow" 18x24

2010-04-07T16:07:00.000-07:00

This painting was created from a boat reference and a dramatic lighting concept I had envisioned.

"The Commuter" 7x5

2010-04-03T13:36:00.000-07:00

A sweet little wood boat that was well taken care of in Friday Harbor.

" My Compliment" 48" x 36"

2010-03-31T14:38:00.000-07:00

Here is one of the twelve paintings that will be in the show at Gallery San Juan in May.

There will be a few boat paintings, landscape, figurative, night scene, and still life paintings.
The title has a play on two ideas. One being the compliment to the boat owners' personal fleet and the second being the color complements of red and green.
This painting has a lot of texture. The pallet knife work on the boat itself has many different colors and values of red to bring the strength of the red to life. The thick paint in the reflection has its own abstract quality that was the main interest that drew me to this subject in the first place.
It was a lot of fun to paint.

In the studio for the month of March and April. Excited about working on all new work for May show at Gallery San Juan, Friday Harbor.
If you can make it, you will not be disappointed.

Heading to California this week. Hope the weather holds.
Plein air painting is on my mind.

"Lagoon Refections" 16x20

oil on panel

2009-06-18T17:22:00.001-07:00

A little fun and different direction.
Focusing a little more on negative space.

2009-05-24T11:59:00.000-07:00

My latest.
I'm enjoying the use of line work in the painting process. It gives another element to help guide the eye to areas that give additional interest to the viewer.

2009-05-06T14:06:00.000-07:00

SOLD

Here I go.
After not being able to paint for a couple of months I'm back at it.
A little anxiety in the beginning. I like the results.

I had a great time doing this plein air piece in 2007. At this time I was finally seeing color more intensely.

2009-01-20T13:53:00.000-08:00

Another love of mine has always been my pets.

Sarina, here was also painted from a photo I took of her. Done in 2000. This is also the first oil portrait I've done.

My attempt to incorporate the surrounding space in this image, I think, was successful. Pulling the viewer into the painting first then the subject becomes more intimate.

A studio created painting using a photo and what I've learned painting from life. Painted the begining of Spring 2008.
