Red Sun

Red Sun – 18"x14" – Acrylic on canvas

I went thru many iterations on this piece, most of which are still present in the finished piece. Venturing into new teritories with this work. It is a veil of swirling sub atomic particles, above and merging with a landscape reduced to is most elemental forms. All you need is... a horizontal line and a circle (and ...love).

Thirty years ago today

It doesn't seem like that long ago that the wall came down. Everyone was excited. A blow for freedom. Heady days. Some enterprising souls were selling pieces and I just had to have one! 

Fifty years ago

...BTW from an event that happened 20 years before that, you can now buy pieces of the stage from Woodstock! Click: https://www.peaceofstage.com/

Winter Sunset on the Highline


( Winter Sunset on the Highline – 7x5 – Acrylic on canvas board )

 Snow underfoot,
near the end of the day,
the shadows lengthened,
and I turned my face
toward home.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Borderlands 1

Borderlands 1 – 8x8 – Mixed media on cream colored paper

The genesis for Borderlands 1 came from a dream. Or actually from the borderlands between sleep and waking. It came to me in the briefest of moments. As I came awake, I blinked, and the image flashed in my mind's eye for just a split second. No time to focus to really record it consciously. The painting is just a fleeting memory in graphite, colored pencil and acrylics.

Study for Vertical Veil Stripe Sculpture
( Proposed sculpture – Wood, aluminum, concrete, paint – Approximately 6 x 11 x 1 ft. )
( Drawing on paper – 8.5 x 5.5" ) 

Another piece that never saw the digital or literal light of day... This is a first idea sketch for a proposed outdoor sculpture. Using 6 or 8 foot tall 4x4" verticals from pine or hollow aluminum. Painted in enamel or acrylics varnished in polyurethane. Mounted on pyramid shaped concrete blocks (similar to footers for decking) painted black. Envisioned varying number of verticals grouped in a straight line, circle or semi-circle. I try to constantly evolve my abstract work. Here taking the Striped Veil concept into three dimensions...
