Mom's collection 1

This picture is one of the oldest in my mother's collection

Disgusting

This picture is in my mother's kitchen. She bought it because it looks so disgusting.! Between the fish on a platter and the pheasant with the wing in the air, we find it quite shocking.

Strange Rainbow

One problem I have always had is a lack of patience. I usually finish a work in fifteen or twenty minutes. I know the best paintings are works you spend time creating and putting a lot of detail in. This is my first attempt to put in a lot of time and detail in. I spent about an hour on this piece

multiple acrylics on 9X12 canvas board.

 Titanium white & mars black acrylic paint on 16X20 canvas board

Big Sun

1/18/13

Looking at it, a few months later, I'm not happy with it. Too much of a black board look

White Pavilion

Part of straight line series. This time I used a 16 inch X 20 inch canvas panel

Further experiments in hue & tone

Two experiments with black, white, yellow, phthalo green and middle green

Albersian Green tones, AKA the Turtle

SOLD

Albers Square 1

I didn't get the lines straight or centered but that doesn't matter. Josef Albers squares are displays of hues and tones.

Blocks

 This started out as an experiment in space and texture. Note the many ways I have filled each block

Caterpillar

This started out as an experiment in dark & light green tones. I put it on an orange background for contrast.

Red Hearts On Pink

Another attempt at movement

Stix

I like this piece because of its contrast of tones and hues. Though the orange strokes are just one of three hues, they stands out because of the brightness of their tone, as well as their vericle positioning.

Eye

Toys

Spaces

Greens

This was done with Premiere phithalo green, Winsor & Newton's Galeria permanent green middle, and Hyatt's value series orange

I hadn't planned on making erotic art, but I throw things on a canvas and I never know what comes out

Flyiing Black On Orange 2

This version is an improvement over the last because it was scanned rather than photographed, so camera shaking wasn't a factor.
