Dear Subscribers,

 

Greetings!

 

Some framing action in preparation for my upcoming Solo Show
  at RS Hanna Gallery in
Texas. Gonna start shipping soon. It's always a relief when new
paintings go out the door. While they're here I sense a sort of creative
static...interference....It is good to completely clear out now and
then.

 
 

 

New still life. I borrowed this pitcher from my mother-in-law. At the
time I had no idea it would be so challenging to paint. At first glance
it seems like a very simple object. That's the problem--the smooth
material and bright clean color makes for an incredibly subtle value
change...that combined with thick paint from a knife. So the vast
majority of time was spent going over and over and over the pitcher.

 

 
 

 

From the beginning I knew I'd be putting an imaginary daisy into the
bottom left quadrant of the painting, to play off the pitcher and
balance the whole thing.

This painting will debut at my Solo Show at RS Hanna Gallery
  in October!

 

I'm currently half way on a new SF cityscape for Studio Gallery's City
Streets   in September.
You'll see it in the following issue. 

 

Until next week,
