Richard Buckner mentioned Tule Fog in a song and it always stuck with me. It emerges here roughly 23 years after hearing the phrase for the first time. Green and Grey tones collide and harmonize.
Tule Wave
Denim
4 x 3 Feet : Oil on Canvas : $800 SOLD
I strongly prefer the worn side of denim in my clothing choices. The aged softness contrasted with the wholesome strength of a blue collar background comes to visit in this piece.
Western Sky
Longing for another visit to the Southwestern parts of North America. COVID-19 makes that difficult. I pulled my longing out and poured it into this piece. For now I remain in the Mid-Atlantic area, but I will not stay there forever. Western Sky is one of my Favorite American Music Club songs. Hence the title.
Hot Buttered Particles
4 x 3 Feet : Oil on Canvas : $800 SOLD
John said it reminded him of popcorn. Unintentional as it may have been, it made me smile, so I am borrowing the reference. I really enjoy the upper portion – the sky – if you will. Mostly I made it in these shades because I rarely use magenta tones and wanted to do something new.
Early Spring
3 x 4 Feet : Oil on Canvas : $1200 SOLD
I really wanted the erosion look, the effect of which is highlighted in this piece.
Smoldering Blues
A further exploration of particles and waves, and an attempt to make blues present warmth.
Spring Wave
A continuation of the Particle Wave series inspired by the approaching Spring of 2020.
Caiti’s Nature
A continuation of the Particle Wave series. Caiti and I are co-workers and she had a specific palette in mind for this piece. we cooperated and I like the resulting canvas.
