"Listen To The Wind"

SOLD

Graphite on Paper

9 x 12

This abstract took a long while to complete. I found this one very time consuming and I didn't have a clear vision of where i was going with it. I think the finished piece was successful though. I wanted to finish this before i moved onto painting. I received my order of canvas and canvas's from Curry's art store so I am armed and ready to paint...make sure you stay tuned...:)

"Beware"

For Sale By The Artist

Graphite Drawing

11 x 14

I tried to write something about this piece a few times and nothing felt right. The piece comes from within. It represents my feelings so it is difficult to put into words the exact meaning of it. My feelings chage from the beginning of a piece to the end so the piece is actually a map of my thoughts and feelings through images. Clear as mud. Right?? heheheh Enjoy!!!

"Self Portrait #3"

For Sale by the Artist

Acrylic Paint On Gallery Stretched canvas

18x24

This is another interpretation of an older post. The original is a ink drawing. For this painting I used a gallery wrapped canvas and acrylic paint. It is hard to see in the photo that the lines on the right and all the trim lines were painted with Renaissance gold acrylic paint. When you look at it from the correct angle it shimmers. I was very impressed with the paint.

"Insight #2"

For Sale by the Artist

Acrylic Paint On Gallery Stretched canvas

16 x 16

After having a conversation about INSIGHT the drawing with my sister a few weeks ago I decided that the image would also make a successful painting. So this is my interpretation of my drawing. This went so well I think i will try and paint a few more of my drawings. Originally my drawings were intended to be preliminary drawings for etchings. Who knows. In the future I just may turn them into prints. :) Enjoy!!!

Happy New Year!

For my first piece, of the new year,I wanted to do something that was free flowing and gestural. I wanted to keep it loose and not get caught up in the details. Gestural painting per say. This shape is one that can be found in most of my abstract pieces. For those who haven't had a conversation with me about, would not know that this shape represents sperm. For me it is the ultimate symbol of life and creation.

My New Years resolution it to get back to painting and hang up my pencil. I hope to move into oils, a medium I haven't touched in years. I hope everyone keeps checking back on a regular basis. Please post comments. I love to hear from everyone.
