Time is a Thief

watercolor of a suspension in time and space. the painting measures 25 x 40 and completed recently

THREE GRACES

here is the watercolor triptych completed today. each painting is 40 x 30.. and together make a 9 + wide statement

i paid a lot of attention to having the paintings coordinate. the palette -- and the varying views of the figure make this piece fascinating.

left panel- Dealing With Loss
center panel- Rinse and Repeat
right panel- Hydro Therapy

CONSTANT CHANGE

here is the triptych that i've been working on --... each panel measures 20 x 24. the overall painting is 8 feet wide. this was a challenge.. as i'm not comfortable painting figurative acrylics. it's about accepting/resisting change.... a huge metaphor for my life right now.

righteous watercolor

this is why i love watercolor! it's big, and bold.. and righteous!
these two swimmers are part of a series --- of four. i will be painting the next two this week.

the left panel: DEALING WITH LOSS
the right panel: RINSE AND REPEAT

each painting relates to the other in palette and composition. the cobalt turquoise and burnt sienna create most of the shadow -- which define the figure.
each painting measures 41 x 29.

any thoughts on titles?

new figurative painting

here's the first of a series of figurative acrylics.... for a new show i'm having in the spring. i like this one.. because the hands project out and become a barrier and impediment to the rest of the painting. the tire tracks are symbolic on a number of levels. i'm considering a number of titles for this piece, but if you have a suggestion-- please leave it here.

water lilies

framed work -- installed in studio for review. these are older paintings-... but still interest me. the pieces measure 12 x 40... compatible diptych.

Savannah Siren

new acrylic-- well, a rework of an old acrylic. the painting measure 40 x 50. the drama occurs in the newly defined sky. i took wild chances with this piece -- to learn something by taking risks. i had no fear about whether it would turn out-- i only wanted to learn something.

while painting it-- the coffee shop across the street had patrons gather by the window to watch the painting develop-- and at the end of a couple of hours -- they sent over a cup of coffee with a message that it "was beautiful." that comment made my day!
