Retro in black and colors

Retro WIP

I know its out of focus - so sorry about that. I'm hoping this all works out in time as my eyes recover from the surgery...

This is a continuation of my current work with unstretched canvas. In total its a bit bigger than 8 x 10 probably... I haven't measured. And its on raw unprimed unstreteched canvas... Which is really interesting and I like the color.

I think I will be leaving this one be. Now all I have to do is figure out whats involved with stretching.

Zen gold on red


This is a wip because I'm missing the gold I need to make the gold really gold. I think this need a real metallic (another one that needs a metallic .... I see a pattern here).

Other than that I think I'm going to leave it be...

This is about a foot by two feet on a birch wood panel. The background had layers of reds, browns, oranges and yellows to achieve the layered deep reds.

Under the seas abstract paintings


Under the seas - hanging

I did a little mock up of 'under the seas' hanging since i dont have anyplace to hang it myself. I really like the way these came out but I have a small place and have no place to hang it.

This is one work on two canvasses. Each gallery wrap canvas is a 16 x 20 canvas . Contact me for information about purchasing this work.

Visual landscape in grays and blues

Landscape in blues and grays - available

This is a 9 x 12 inch acrylic painting on a thick gallery wrapped canvas. Before I painted I added layers of paper for the wrinkles and texture you see on the main image but you can especially see this in the close up.



The sides are painted black and it has a thick gallery edge, It can be framed or hung on the wall with just a nail.

Date of creation - 2008

This is a nice calming image of a a far away landscape. Its minimal enough to be relaxing and calming but the layer of paper adds great texture for interest.

I'm broke. What can I say.... I'd like to sell some work so I can do more. I haven't had much luck selling artwork on eBay but I don't have a show coming up until June.

Also don't have room for the paintings that I have here and would really like them to find a home.

The listing is set as a buy it now $99 or best offer but I will take a reasonable offer.

This painting is a 9 x 12 inch acrylic on a thick gallery wrap with painted sides. You don't need to frame it to hang it. More information is at the eBay link.

The good, the bad Acrylic painting and what motivates

"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." Albert Einstein

Sold


It's a great quote and good food for thought... and is he right? Is the motivation for behavior as important as all the good or bad you do?




The right edge is green, left is blue and 'moves' to green with the dry brush strokes you see here. It's really very interesting and very different from what I've done before. Its 16 x 20 inches.


$300 US dollars contact me for purchase information
