Up From the Abyss

large format watercolor-- 40 x 30...... of swimmer for the new portfolio. i needed to add more swimmers for an updated look. trying to infuse them with more psychological energy ---

SEA GRAPE

Bolongo Beach Sea Grape -- acrylic 16 x 20 Intense light on the beach.. with an interesting cast shadow........

Searching for the Light

The painting is a metaphor for my life. A sunflower in search of light.... reaching for clarity and leaving the darkness. The painting is an acrylic on panel- 40 x 12.

Autumnal Sea Grape

Acrylic on panel- 16 x 20- for the St. Thomas show.
This piece relies upon the glazing technique -- with overlays of washes of Red Iron Oxide and Magenta to glisten and give the final depth of color.

Playing with Fire

this older piece is on display in my studio. it's an acrylic on paper- done in 2001. i love the seduction of color here--- and the mysteriousness of pose.

SEA GRAPES

acrylic on panel
Bolongo Beach in St. Thomas

I loved painting this horizontal painting.... basic, rich and cleverly composed.

ISelf

This is the final version of ISelf. the watercolor is 30 x 40... and is more developed than the maquette. the painting conveys the fragmentation, disorientation, and disillusion i feel at this juncture in my life.

Dapple Light

Unfinished painting-- but.. i like the dappling effect of the light on the door. I still have to work on the leaves and foliage in the front. acrylic 16 x 20... from St. Thomas

St Thomas Palm Too

The second of the two palms.... this one is more complex. I like the composition and the little fly-away fronds.

St Thomas Palm

Two palm paintings-- acrylic - 16 x 20... represent about 2 weeks worth of work. The paintings are a pair. i'll have to photograph the two together... so you can see how they blend and share shape.

Working on smaller watercolors for a show in Ecuador next summer. The work will incorporate swimmers and some garden pieces.
Each painting will be framed and ready for sale in July at the TEATRO CENTRO DEL ARTE in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

St Thomas triptych
acrylic
16 x 20 each panel
working with the idea
of varying juxtaposition of
perspectives

iSELF

Today in the studio-- i worked on a self portrait i have been thinking about for a while.

the face is broken up into fractures or fragments-- with juxtaposing perspectives and scale.

together.. the pieces make a feeling of disconnect and dissonance... at the same time.. there is a false feeling of unity and portraiture.

the overall composition looks slightly wild and wild-eyed.... a loss gaze.. a sense of fracture....damage...

St Thomas

Still working on smaller 16 x 20 paintings of St. Thomas doorways, gates, vines, and light.
I'm reacquainting myself with acrylic. I've been away for about a year from acrylic... and the nuances are hard to recapture. However, I'm enjoying the process...

PISSARRO'S GATE
acrylic
16 x 20
2007

Finally finished this acrylic. I haven't painted acrylic in over a year.. so there was a bit of a learning curve. The perspective is striking.. and what motivated me to paint. The feeling is a dizziness that i like.

PISSARRO'S GATE

This is the first painting in a series of work on ST THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS. i spent some time there last spring... teaching watercolor. i didn't get as much imagery to work from as i normally do .. but has caught my eye.



This acrylic is 16 x 20.. and is mid-state. i need to develop more richly the pattern in the leaves. there's a dizzy perspective that i like ... looking up at he the foliage beyond the gate. St Thomas is rich in all of it's winding streets and crannies.... this hidden treasure of the artist's house was particularly intriguing.

i plan to do 6 painting in this series.

half empty/half full

This is a from a series of 5 watercolors. each painting measures 14 h x 11 w .........
tell me what you think.!
