Pasture in the Mountains 6x6 oil on canvas

I have returned from my visit to the art museums of D.C. coming face to face with some of the worlds greatest art . Awe inspired is the words that I use to describe my short journey. Paint better ...is one thing that reverbs in the back of my mind.

D.C.

As a teenager my parents took the family to see washington dc I was allowed to stay in the art museum while they went on to the monuments. I'm on my way back to D.C. this weekend after more than 30 tears for more of the nations collection in particular a John Singer Sargent exhibit. This trip is by myself so its just the art and I.

I'm going to be doing some limited palette work like this is one. So far lets just call this new painting my loose copy, I see several fixes that need applied.

At the Dock 12x16 oil on canvas

Storage

I spend time looking for oil colors that I know I own and I spend time trying to read the tube which can be in a tiny foreign language so today I bought this bin from Sears that I will clearly label so each color can have a room with a view. Now I will spent more time painting and not rummaging for the elusive magenta or those feral umbers .

Soda Shop 9x9 oil on panel

A sneak peek of a commission for a patron it maybe not quite finished but I'm happy with the radiant red that matched her photo. SOLD

Jaya and Mom 16x24 oil

I had to keep telling myself that this is not 2 rhino's in the mud. This is an oil painting. I was forced to invent much of this work because the photo I worked from was grey on grey but it was great fun. The little fellow under big mama is our new baby at the zoo here in Tampa. ...SOLD...

Self with Monkey watercolor

Watercolor not my thing but I have to reaffirm that ever couple of years...the monkey is the one on the left.

From Keats

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness

These words from a Keats poem have always inspirited me to try and make art.

"From a Dream" 12x12 oil

Abstraction is enjoyable to me because it's more of a puzzle than realism and it brings in extra questions about what is happening in the painting, like life it's more of a mystery and I like that. In this work my question are is that a man or maybe minotaur in the background and why the red,I don't sense danger...abstraction..fun stuff. SOLD
