Sunday is my FUN day! So many pleasant accomplishments. I worked on this small abstract piece that's been in progress for a couple of weeks now. How do you like it so far? Tentatively I am calling it Violet Hills, but that could change...

This work is mix media on Gesso board. Acrylic, #497 pencil, paint pen and oil stick, so far.

I might post a short video about something completely unrelated later this evening if I have time. Stay tuned!

Happy Sunday Art Lovers! 

Why, oh, why do we have to take care of so many tedious little tasks everyday? I just want to create from dawn until dark. But, that's not how life is...is it?

I didn't have time to create a small representational piece today and for that I feel a little anxious and annoyed. But, when I was creating I was in such a place of...I don't know if there are words...perfect union with the Divine. The rest of life feels like running around and around in circles burning Life energy to me. Maybe a little moment of beauty here or there. A loved one. A smile. 

So, I'll post a small stream of consciousness piece I completed today as well as an abstract painting that I started last week that, as far as I know, is still in progress.  I also started another abstract painting on panel today, but it's wet, so you can't see it right now. BLEH! ;-P

I know that I said I was moving into representational work a couple of posts back, but then I got the bright idea that I could do all of the above in a single day. Guess I was wrong. Oh, dreaded daily responsibilities!!!!

Good Evening Art Lovers!

Today I repaired a large painting that had been damaged at a gallery pre-COVID and I started a small painting for CAL's 12x12 show this coming January. I can't show you either one of those because they are still wet and wouldn't look like much.

​BUT, I also completed a small drawing which I will post below. Enjoy!
