Happiness in Color

 


Oil, 9" x 12" $150

Recently I recognized that my primary goal
in creating art
is to bring joy, serenity, and possibly introspection
to the viewer.

I'm enjoying exploring ways to
use the grid composition
to experiment with shapes, color, values,
and mark-making.

LMK if you would like this piece to live with you.

Misty Beach Day

 


24" x 30" Oil $800

After doing a few value studies of this scene,
I tried my hand at a larger canvas
to convey a cool, misty day at the beach.

The expanse of clean beach sand surrounded by pines and palms
soothes my soul like nothing else.
Walking, reflecting, and just letting go
is beach therapy.

Southern Hospitality

 


Oil, 6" x 8" $150

Vibrant, energized still life of a pineapple,
I call it "Southern Hospitality,"
because having moved back to the South
after decades of being away,
it's a real thing.

Round N Round


Oil on Cradled Board, 18" x 24" $500

This grid composition enables me to
play
with mark-making; complementary colors;
darks and lights; and
soft and hard edges.
It's like a playground for me.
The snowy background's neutral framing
shows off the many colors nicely.

Please contact me if interested 
in having this artwork in your home.

Round n Round

 


Mixed Media, 12" x 12" $150

I've been doing a lot of paintings with the grid composition, 
and this one is the most complex so far. It features
geometric shapes
and shapes within shapes
and fun colors.
