Carnival Song
Walk This Way
8" x 8" mixed media on wood
In this new series of abstracted interior spaces I'm mostly concerned
with the process - the pattern and line work become intuitive.
I just completed this new painting of a city block, it is another
piece in my ongoing series of urban dwellings. 3 modern homes squeezed
together on a tiny bit of street. I used so much color in this
painting, it's really vibrant and intense.
i'm beginning a new series of portraits of people that i find
interesting. they may or may not be famous, but what they all have in
common is a certain something that compels me to paint them.
this is a new small (8"x10") abstract painting, loosely based on an
interior space. i like how it looks a little bit like a room after a
wild party, and a bit like a cave painting.
here's a new one, using one of my favorite subjects to paint- it is a
study of the workings of an interior space. i'm happy with the
interesting texture and perspective.
this painting is an abstracted interior space, layered upon and added
to until i got it just right. i love the mix of angles and play with
perspective. i used lots of color and textured paint application. i
think it's lots of fun to look at.
this is a new painting that was inspired by both a view i had from an
old apartment, and the thoughts and memories that were stirred while
listening to an album that i am truly crazy about - "forever changes"
by love.
i have been thinking a lot about my work and decided it was time that
i embrace my biggest influence, which is music, and make it more of a
focal point in my paintings. i'm not sure exactly how i am going to do
this, but i definitely will not simply start titling my paintings with
song lyrics, unless it fits of course.
since i always paint with music playing, i think a good starting point
is to make note of what i'm listening to when i work on each piece and
see what the results show.
