Day 12: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Feb. 2018

Gold Leaf Canyon

This painting contains a good deal of gold leaf and therefore has shiny components that unfortunately do not photograph well.   I prize the traditional combination of Venetian Red Gesso and Gold Leaf - and then using it in an abstract composition.  I worked with the design elements off and on for a few weeks until producing this - with which I am pleased.

I hope you enjoy it as well!

Day 19: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

It's Complicated

So - it's complicated.  This piece has numerous transparent layers and intricacies when viewed closely.  It is painted on a heavy, gessoed Indian rag watercolor paper - which is then adhered to a 12" x 24" canvas - painted with a base of Venetian Red gesso.  I told you it was complicated...:o)

Enjoy exploring  the multidimensional aspects of the painting!

Sedona - Chapel of the Holy Cross

This commissioned piece held great heart-felt significance to the person who commissioned it. As the artist, I felt very strongly directed from an inner source with each brushstroke and choice of color.  It was a very beautiful and calming experience.  Artists often talk of 'being in the zone' while creating.  With this piece I was not only in the zone, but also felt as if I were lovingly inspired throughout.  It is what I refer to as the divinity of creation.

The side view shows the deep cradled edges which were painted with a Venetian Red Gesso to visually reiterate the red of the rocks in the painting.
