Landscape Inspired Oil Paintings, Oil on Canvas

Edited 11/10/20.

I've been reading blogposts about search words and where and when to use so I have more of an understanding. Also the labeling of images with search words before even uploading to the site. Prior to this I would label my images the same as if I were sending them to a gallery or Rep.

More importantly, White Kitty has been hanging around the house and today he/she walked into the kitchen. I am very excited to have a kitty that I don't have to take care of but can feed a little, hopefully love and it will hunt the voles, moles and chipmonks of which there is no shortage.

Work on paper, Explorations with watercolor

Edited 11/13/20

Working abstractly can feel like throwing things in the air and seeing where it lands. The beginning of the process especially, then things happen and more deliberate decisions are made. I find this process very exciting and scary at the same time.

In the past, I avoided letting my paintings look like a pattern. I have fond memories of my six years in the garment district. Today I embrace the possibility that the work may take on aspects of pattern.

Explorations 3, Landscape, 2016, watercolor on card stock, 7"x7" 

This last one immediately felt like a landscape. I like that approach to painting, the palette suggesting the subject.
