I am continuing to pursue my interest in working with ink and watercolor on paper.  I am learning a lot about how the materials interact and how I can use layering, overlapping, color and line to create different moods.

I’m using Sumi Ink and watercolor to make these designs and serendipitous images.

 

I’ve changed this painting quite a bit from earlier version. I’m exploring abstraction and gesture and figures. This is 36” x 48” oil on canvas.

This piece is oil on wood.  I started it a number of months ago and it has gone through many revisions.  I’m using abstraction and some figure drawing.  The thalo blue and green colors connect it to another figure painting I completed in late spring.

Here is a new abstract piece I’m trying to work out. It’s a more intuitive way of working than when making something with representation.

I am working hard to update my Artfinder site where my work is for sale.  Please take a look and inquire or make me an offer!  I am busy working on new paintings and drawings.  Let me know what you think.

 

 

 

 

 

A story

Cartoon 2

I created this by importing a drawing from my sketchbook into a graphic’s program and then working with layers.

This work is in pastel, charcoal and conte crayon.  I really enjoy working on paper and with these materials.  There is a directness that comes with pastel.  The layers can add interesting textures and complexity.
