I am always amazed at the different feelings the same pallet of colors can evoke.  February 23 and this painting are the exact same colors.  Soft and etherial.  Hard and strong.  It all depends on the mood of the artist.

This painting can ship when it is dry.  It will be sealed with Golden Archival Satin Varnish and matted in white 8x8 mat.

I am hoping for a spot of sunlight today.  But it probably will not happen.  The view out my window is just tones of grey.  I will  keep hoping that I get to see the sun peeping through just like in this painting.

This painting can ship as soon as it it is dry.  It will be sealed with Golden Archival Satin Varnish.  It will be matted in white with an outside dimension of 10"x10" ready for framing.

I don't know what to think about this one.  I didn't like it at first and now it is starting to grow on me.  My goal was large shapes with a limited palette.  So, I started with 3 big shapes, 3 colors and got to going from there.  It was challenging and fun all at the same time.  I will not tell you all the things I see in it!

She's back!!  Yes, I took a couple of weeks off from posting.  Reorganizing my studio.  Framing and delivering paintings to galleries.  I even went to a print making demo at a Print Austin event.  I don't think I will be doing that any time soon.

February 19 is my return to posting.  It may be renamed Back Lit.  It just seems to glow from within.

I painted Tranquil Times a couple of days ago and have been studying it since then.  I had to do that before I posted it because it is a little different for me.  I guess I had to let it grow on me.  Sometime, I wait and make changes days later.  Not today.  I decided it didn't need any changes.  It is ready for the world. 

Trees? Roses? Underwater?

Everyone that has seen this little jewel has seen different plant life.  Sometime I think it is tree trunks.  The next time I see rose stems.  Barbara, the new owner, sees underwater plant life.  I am going to let her live with it a while before we decide on the final title.

This is another limited pallet painting.  French Ultramarine and Indian Yellow.  They were mixed on he painting surface to make the luscious greens.  It was pure manipulation of the wet paint that made the shapes appear.  This really was one of those magic ones that had the shapes appear.

I am going to miss this little one but she is off to the best home possible!!!
