Glass Sphere

oil on hardboard panel
6'' x 6"

sold

I've been working on a few new ebay pieces this week. Here's the first of (hopefully) four six by sixers. The mood struck me this week to do something transparent, so I got out one of my small glass spheres, and placed it on the window sill in the sun.

PB&J

oil on canvas
10'' x 10"

sold

Here's more of what I've been working on for the galleries. Peanut butter and jelly. There seems to be a bread theme developing here. I think I'll be exploring this subject for a little while. It's been fun trying to add a bit of texture into my paintings. This piece was just shipped off to New York along with the Pool Balls, and Sliced Bread to Stricoff Fine Art.

Percolator on Linen

oil on canvas
12'' x 24"

Here's the fourth of the eight finished paintings. I'm back to my favorite Percolator. This will also be one of my entries representing Twinhouse at this years ArtHouse. I wanted to work on a table cloth that was flatter, and not so bunched up, like I usually do. My goal was to show more subtle creases, and latent folds. I think with this piece, the coffee pot, and linen share equal billing. If you'd like to learn more about this piece you can find contact information by clicking here.

Nautilus

oil on canvas
12'' x 12"

Here's the third of the eight finished paintings. I love this Nautilus shell. I've painted it twice before, but couldn't resist doing it again. This will be one of my entries representing Twinhouse at this years ArtHouse. Once a year the Atlanta Gallery Association leases a newly built mansion for a month, and fills each room with artwork from the member galleries. It's a great way to visit a lot of Atlanta galleries without having to drive all over town.If you'd like to learn more about this piece you can find contact information by clicking here.

Sliced Bread

oil on canvas
10'' x 30"

Here's another of the eight finished paintings I've been working on these last couple of weeks. I wanted to try my hand at plastic bags. I had done a cherry painting, with the fruit in a cellophane bag for my last show at Twinhouse, and wanted to go there again. This painting is not dry enough to ship at this point, but will be going to Stricoff in New York. It should arrive along with the Pool Balls in about ten days or so.

Pool Platter V

oil on canvas
10'' x 10"

I've been neglecting my blog lately. My focus has been on completing a number of new paintings to be offered to my galleries. Eight are finished, and I'm in the process of working out who will get what. I'll be posting them here as each finds a destination. None of them are dry enough to ship at this point, but the painting above will be going to Stricoff in New York. It should be in their possesion in about ten days or so.

Chambered Nautilus

oil on canvas
12'' x 12"

Here's another of my gallery paintings. The Chambered Nautilus. This is one of my favorite shells. I've painted it twice, and have a third rendition on the easel now. This painting was recently delivered along with the Beach Lamp to my new gallery on Cape Cod - Wynne/Falconer.

Water Pitcher

oil on canvas
12'' x 12"

I thought I'd use my blog to bring attention to work on display at my galleries. Present work that I've just completed, and others painted in the recent past. This piece is one of two paintings currently available at Stricoff Fine Art, Ltd., in New York. I was officially brought on board yesterday, and I hope it will prove to be a long, and successful relationship.

Beach Lamp

oil on canvas
18'' x 36"

I thought I'd use my blog to bring attention to work on display at my galleries. Present work that I've just completed, and others painted in the recent past. I also wanted to illustrate, with this piece, that all of my paintings are not done in a square format. This image came from a home in Seaside Florida. I was struck by the geometry of the lamp, and its shadow cast across the blank stucco wall. There's a lot of negative space, but I felt it was an integral part of the composition. This painting was recently delivered to my new gallery on Cape Cod - Wynne/Falconer. If you are interested in finding out more about this piece you can contact the director by clicking here.

Iced Tea

oil on canvas
12'' x 12"

I thought I'd use this venue to bring attention to some of my gallery pieces. Present work I've just completed, and show some done in the recent past. Iced tea is a subject I really enjoy, but have only attempted a few times. Summer is not too far off, and so my thoughts go to that cold brew. This painting is currently at the Seven-O-Seven Contemporary Gallery in Santa Fe. If you are interested in finding out more about this piece you can contact the director by clicking here.

In Progress

I don't usually post images of my work until I'm finished. Many times paintings don't meet my expectations, and they get gessoed over then replaced with another painting. Karen has let me have it a number of times when I've destroyed a piece that she loved, but I couldn't live with. So, my works in progress can have a very short life. But Lisa Gloria very politely asked me to show some works "in progress", and I couldn't say no. These images are at the first pass stage. A second, and occasionally a third pass is necessary to finish the painting. They are 6 x 6 inch squares painted on hardboard panels. If they survive I'll post the completed versions next week when I plan to list another five on ebay.

the Daily Painters Guild

Some months back a number of artist/bloggers began to connect with each other via links to their blogs. Fifteen artists who paint daily decided to create a single site where their work could be shown together. After a few months of discussion and planning the Daily Painters Guild was formed. I feel very privileged to be a member of this group. I have, without exception, the greatest admiration, and respect for all the painters involved.

The DPG is the subject of the current post on Charley Parker's blog Lines and Colors

I will also be posting some new pieces next week. I've been busy with some commissioned paintings, which I usually don't list on this site.
