Landscape Inspired Oil Paintings, Oil on Canvas

Edited 11/10/20.

I've been reading blogposts about search words and where and when to use so I have more of an understanding. Also the labeling of images with search words before even uploading to the site. Prior to this I would label my images the same as if I were sending them to a gallery or Rep.

More importantly, White Kitty has been hanging around the house and today he/she walked into the kitchen. I am very excited to have a kitty that I don't have to take care of but can feed a little, hopefully love and it will hunt the voles, moles and chipmonks of which there is no shortage.

That Art on Paper Fair was a good one, not for me but a nice looking Fair. The best p[art was I did nothing but the work! Of all the fairs I’ve been involved with the first two were the only that resulted in sales. I don’t jump to get involved with them any more. To much effort, so little return.

I am pleased to have work included in the Lawrence Fine Art, booth of the Art on Paper Fair, located at Pier 36 in NYC. My Artist Book seen below can be viewed at the fair. 

Artist Book, clam-shell box containing 50 works on paper. 11"x14" each. Priced individually. 

The group seen below are part of the box. There are other small groups with the box containing mainly individual paintings, each in a protective cellophane envelope for easy viewing. 

Earth Series, (group of four) 2013, oil on prepared paper, 11"x14" each

The painting below, Blue Variations, 2004, oil on prepared paper, 14"x11" is one of four paintings from 2004 contained in the book.

The painting below titled Ocean is also included in the Artist Book. 

Ocean, 2013, oil on prepared paper, 11"x14"  

This last image titled Ocean, came from a group of explorations with full weighted color. It was one of my larger groups of oil on paper to date. The smooth paper surface and accelerated drying time are advantages I had not considered till then. 

I am attending the opening night reception, I hope to meet You there! 

Work on paper, Explorations with watercolor

Edited 11/13/20

Working abstractly can feel like throwing things in the air and seeing where it lands. The beginning of the process especially, then things happen and more deliberate decisions are made. I find this process very exciting and scary at the same time.

Explorations 1, 2016, watercolor on card stock, 7"x7"  

In the past, I avoided letting my paintings look like a pattern. I have fond memories of my six years in the garment district. Today I embrace the possibility that the work may take on aspects of pattern.

Explorations 3, Landscape, 2016, watercolor on card stock, 7"x7" 

This last one immediately felt like a landscape. I like that approach to painting, the palette suggesting the subject.
