“We don’t paint our feelings, we FEEL and paint.”

Pebbled Path

Pebbled Path – 12x12 – Acrylic on canvas sheet

Still within the Veil Series, exploring new color palettes. The title comes from the way the painting looks and the way life sometimes is. Not always a smooth path. I'm enjoying the cooler mornings lately, crunching along the very finely graveled runners path next to the Highline Canal Trail that is just outside my door. You rarely have to travel far for inspiration.

11:11 –  I Am One

11:11  I Am One – 12x12 – Acrylic on canvas sheet

Another in the theme of the Veil. This time on an 11x11 grid with the dots spaced roughly one inch apart. The title for the piece comes from the two times a day when it's 11:11. I see the numbers as being in alignment, all one(s). And so it is with myself that I am, we are, in alignment and one with our higher self. This is just a reminder for me of the truth of being.

A quote by Toni Morrison  (1931-2019)

"I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom."  

Blue Green Veil Two

Blue Green Veil Two – 12x12 – Acrylic on canvas sheet

The second in this series has a distinctly different feel. It is looser and rather than predominantly warmer colors in the background, I've introduced some cooler temperature colors, Dioxazine Purple and a lot of Napthol Crimson which vibrates well with the green.

Blue Green Veil One

Blue Green Veil One – 12x12 – Acrylic on canvas sheet

Another in the Veil series. All my abstracts seem to fall into that category. This is the first one however using a teal hued veil. The others all being white, buff or black. A whole new horizon of color possibilities has opened up.
