“First of all, I just want to thank you again for the workshop. I got a lot out of it! The very next day, I went to the studio to work on something that’s been on my easel for over 9 months, and, with trepidation in my heart and hands, laid down an abstract background of shapes, colors, darks and lights etc just like you showed us. Oh my God, was I ever nervous! But it turned out great and just started making itself from there. Cool!”

Something Different

Subtle Transitions“Subtle Transitions” 4′ x 4′ mixed media on wood

This new painting marks a different direction from previous work. I’d like to think it is the beginning of a new series of work. Part of what I enjoy is continually creating different compositions. This minimalist approach is an attempt to create a mood, or a feeling that is serene and yet somewhat mysterious. Many layers of paint and materials have been applied to this work. What is inspiring me is to see 3 to 5 similar works combined for a larger presence. Onward…

For those interested in learning my approach to paint, plus using mixed media materials, here is my studio workshop schedule thru May :
