Imagining it Big

I've taken a few of my small paintings and made them big and in a museum setting. Hmmm, may be just the inspiration I need to get off my duff and get painting for the Size Matters Show. What a great visualization tool.

spaces to breathe

In this crazy time of year when everyone is rushing about, I'm working on a new series: spaces to breathe. Meditative, quiet, places where we can connect to our center and contemplate what matters. Here's a sneak peak... in various stages of completion...12x12 oil on cradled gessobord. Thanks to David Ridgeway for some fabulous photo references (painting on right). Check back on their progress and as I add others.

I want to eat these colors. This and the rosebuds white field are my favorites from this exhibit.

NYTimes, Roberta Smith ends her review with this statement:
In all cases, the combination of sensuousness and honesty attracts. The works establish the act of painting as, at base, what it is: a series of episodic gestures, momentary thoughts and local feelings that occur linearly but, meeting on a single surface, accumulate into much more.
