NOODLE DOODLE 8 x 10 acrylic on canvas board

This is an experiment with acrylics on a canvas board made for watercolor or watermedia, it's a finer surface with interesting properties. I find i can't scan the results at all and have to photograph them to get accurate color. I am still in the southwestern color mode.

New acrylic 12 x 16 canvas: SANTA FE

Here is the first painting i have completed in almost a week... there have been many steps in leaving a gallery that ended its collective format and returning to independent Ebay sales.


SANTA FE
SOLD

I like the balance between order and chaos in this piece. I have spent a good deal of time in New Mexico which is truly a land of enchantment. The colors and tone take me back to Santa Fe and Taos. This should go up for sale on my Ebay Store this week.

MIXED METEOR 14

Here is a recent abstract in a series that i find very enriching. Making one of these is a real adventure in which the Creative shows the way if one can listen. I am always surprised by the final result.

MIXED METEOR 14


This is a 9 x 12 inch Acrylic and Oil Painting on Canson Montval 185 lb Acrylic paper. The images do sometimes suggest meteors in space, and, of course, i am playing with the term "Mixed Media". These are moody suggestive realms into which i can lose myself.  This is listed currently in My Ebay Store.

“ART IS PURE AND INTENSE PLAY” WELCOME!

Welcome to my new blog. Since art is the topic, let me begin right away with a new painting, the most recent cityscape that i have done in an ongoing series. I have been exploring skylines as geometry and color, but this is the first painting done from ground level.



DOWNTOWN

SOLD 
This is an acrylic and oil painting on a 12 x 16 inch stretched canvas with UV protective gel. I used micaceous iron oxide to create the asphalt-like texture on the roadway. The moon is painted in luminescent white which shifts as one moves. I will list this painting for auction in my store on eBay, later today.
