This painting makes a small, but bold statement. It is executed in black and white while the cloud in the center is cut paper from a drypoint print exhibiting a subtle, scribbly texture.

This painting is elegant in its simplicity. The background is a subtle pale blue, while the cloud image is painted in an iridescent gold. The appearance of the gold paint changes depending on the angle of the light.

This will be part of the Small Works 2008 exhibit.

Sneak Peak


Goldilocks
Acrylic and collage on canvas
10 x 8 inches
inventory # 08-J-05


Here is a sneak preview of one of the paintings I will be exhibiting in The Small Works exhibit at Some Space Gallery.

This piece is mostly collage on canvas. The gold cloud image was cut with an x-acto from this beautiful reflective gold paper that I found. The droplet forms are cut paper from an old etching that I did back during my undergraduate days at The University of Washington. I guess being a pack rat has it's advantages. Once I had everything glued down to the canvas I sealed it with acrylic medium so it has a slightly glossy surface.

If you are late and all the little jewels of artistic excellence are gone you won't have me to blame.

New Cloud Drawing



Cloud Drawing #2
Graphite and china marker on paper
Image size 9.5 x 7.5 inches
Inventory # 08-J-02


Here is another new cloud drawing. These are fun to do. I've been inspired by decorative Japanese painting and the simple repetitive patterns I find in those works. I like the playful mood in this piece and the ambiguity of the space.

Fall is here


Cloud Drawing #1
Graphite and china marker on paper
Image size 9.5 x 7.5 inches
Inventory # 08-J-01


I love fall. It's such a cozy time of year. It makes me want to be inside working in the studio. I love the muted colors of the landscape and drab, moist weather with splashes of colorful fall leaves.
