Painting Meditations: New Work

This is what I have been busy with the last few months...

Stop by if you're in town.

"H is for Holiday" Show @ the DAM

Like these? These are a few of my new experiments. They are 4"x 4", acrylic on wood panels, only $25 each, and currently available at the DAM( Detroit Artists Market) in their Holiday Show. If you get a chance go check out the show. They have a bunch of one of a kind items that would make great gifts for the holidays. Shop local and support independent artists/makers!

New Paintings & the DAM Small(er) Show

I have been painting like a fiend to have some work to submit for the DAM Small(er) Show in August. The show will run August 5-27 and is a cash and carry show so the work may not be up for the duration of the show. All works are 8" or smaller and $250 or less. Here is a preview of some of the work I submitted. Twelve pieces were submitted in total and I am happy to say that all have been accepted.

More Small Paintings

These are done with acrylics on gessoed paper. I also used interference colors to add another dimension. The paintings are actually more subtle that the photos suggest as you can only see the interference colors from the right angle when the light hits them just right.

New Small Paintings/ Studies

It's been a couple of years since I last painted. I just didn't feel inspired to create using that medium and I was having fun working in other mediums during that time. Last weekend I bought some nice wood panels at Utrecht. I've been eyeing those panels for a long time but couldn't justify buying them when I wasn't actually painting. I bought three 6"x 6" panels to start. I didn't want to start too big as these are really supposed to be little studies and exercises to get me going again. I'm not sure if they are finished yet or if they need more. My initial intent was to paint with whites but I don't think I was very successful. I'm not sure how to actually go about doing it but I will keep trying as I have some larger paintings that need that treatment.

More Mandalas

Here are some more mandalas that I have done. Before I started working digitally I used to paint. I had a shape that I liked to paint into patterns. On occasion, I would find myself creating a circular image. Here are a couple of my painted mandalas along with a digital one.
