Under the Sea


I continue to be fascinated with abstract painting
thanks to the highly recommended online course
by Pamela Coughey,
"Art and Success."

Cadmium Orange and Thalo Turqoise,
combined with five different values of gray,
black, and white,
give endless possibilities for values and color juxtapositions.
I'm loving mark-making and creating shapes
in order to put together a unique painting.

I hope these abstracts are eliciting some thoughts,
memories, and/or emotions from you.

Gift of the Sea


Oil on paper, 6" x 6" $100

Abstract art has grabbed me. The possibilities are endless.
And learning more complexities of color mixing has been fascinating.
The online course "Art and Success" has inspired me hugely.
This painting is created with 
Dioxazine Purple, Cadmium Orange, and Thalo Green. 
And white and black.
The process is intuitive. The patterns that emerged
remind me of walking down to the ocean, finding treasure,
smelling salt air, and hearing seagulls.

Breathe


These two 16" x 20" panels form a diptych. The two paintings are designed to be
displayed together, and the price for the two is $700.

I wanted to create something that was soothing to look at,
and interesting at the same time.
One panel contains very small lettering that spells "breathe,"
while the other one contains equally small lettering that spells, "deep breaths."

At this anxiety-ridden time, we all need to remain calm,
breathe deeply, and take notice of the good around us.

May my efforts contribute some calm in your world.

During my last painting retreat in Florida,
