I made this originally for a specific location. It is on display at Mediabarn in the Arlington Courthouse area.

Was thinking about Milton Avery;  watched a short documentary about his time in Provincetown and saw some of the paintings from that period. I have a love for Milton’s art but never saw some of these Provincetown works. I will improve the photograph in better weather.

I was working on this in the studio with the door open and a Monarch Butterfly paid me a visit – took a tour of the space and flew out the door again. That’s the inspiration for the colors… it was fun to make this and I may explore the technique further. Additionally, I think it looks great flipped horizontally and think it displays equally well in both orientations. This is the direction I painted it in… so I chose this one for posting here.

An explorations of Blues and Greys tailored to a specific space and color requests. Part of a private collection in Philadelphia PA.

Cooler colors parting, a passage to the unknown.

Almost figurative but not quite, an exploration of nature at night.

It’s called OCD because of a 1″ slant to the left. I cropped and straightened for this image.

Would be terrific in a stairwell… 😉

Images of CA wildfires though tragic …are sometimes also hauntingly beautiful.
