NEW PAINTING

Nest I Cage series (WANDER) just completed....this painting is 48x72 and I say Bigger IS Better!  I had a particular idea of an image in my mind but as often happens, it is not nearly so easy to execute.  The painting took several iterations and ultimately includes at least 40 layers of paint.  I added, covered up, added, scraped, worked on the composition until I was satisfied that the negative space was as important as the positive.  I think there is both energy and calm in the piece and it should provide the viewer with a great experience.

Ah, Pthalo......

I love Pthalo...the blue (as seen here in Acadia 1 & 2), the green, the turquoise.  I love the depth, intensity, and the transparent quality.  These are small pieces (12x12 each), but are powerful in their simplicity and power.  I plan to paint more in this series using the other colors and more of the blue as well.  Has to make you feel something!
