Splash of Light

16 x 20 oil on canvas $300
This is probably the 4th time I have worked with this basic composition and it is the second time on this canvas. It started out as an acrylic and got heavy even then. I sanded it down (with a power tool) and have now reworked it in oil.

Morning Choices

Still reading about Greenberg's ideas and still experiencing 'deja vu', an experience of reflecting upon the time that I first encountered these ideas. For myself I have always been interested in the magical relationship between painted objects and the virtual space they occupy. An emphasis on the paint itself heightens the tension between that space and the surface of the work.

Cathedral Reflection

16 x 20 acrylic on canvas $325

This painting was done during the Marcia Burtt workshop at the Sedona Arts Center. Working in direct sunlight with acrylics was challenging. Marcia reinforced a lot of my own insticts about direct painting. For me what was reinforced was that the painting starts essentially as abstract relationships of shapes of color next to one another. It becomes an image through that process of observation. Her compositional tips in the midst of painting were also very helpful. Marcia will be doing a workshop in Italy through the Arts Center in September, 2008.
