Painting Talk

I am still working on different types of compositions in preparation for upcoming classes!  As I mentioned before:

 Composition is a very important part of all art making.  In abstraction it is part of what pulls the painting together.  Allows the painting to " flow". 

 I have been preparing for a class I am teaching "Next Level Oil and Cold Wax Intensive" which is  Sold out.  Plus a week long workshop in New Mexico at Ghost Ranch register here

 During the class we will talk about composition.  For that I have been challenging myself to try different "composition styles"

Here is an example "O" or circle composition

Heavenward, 8x8", oil and cold wax on panel, $160

 

New work......... new thoughts

36x36" oil and cold wax on panel

I have been larger these days and the paintings are busting out all over.  I am part of a gallery in CA a The Shed fine art.  The curator gave me a challenge to paint bigger so hear I am.  The paintings I will be posting for the next few week have evolved from challenge.

The paintings are unnamed as of now. 

Abstract paintings....Two of my favorites

Certainty 1 36x36" oil cold wax on panel

Certainty 2 36x36" oil cold wax on panel

I absolutely love these paintings.  I guess the stars were in line for me to come up with these.  They also represent a turning point in my painting for awhile.

Paintings

Arrival 12"x 12" oil cold wax on panel

I love the green in the abstract piece I have named " Arrival " the glare of the lights does not allow the red to come through.  Still having trouble perfecting the photo techniques in the studio.
