Finally A new Painting

This is titled "Rapid". I really enjoyed this painting. Which is great because I haven't enjoyed painting in a month or so. I got the inspiration for this from looking at images of space. The atmospheric clouds that swirl around nebulae. I really like the white on black starkness of the image. Hopefully I'll be making some more like this one.

random drawings

Been pretty uninspired in the paint department. However it has been a long time since I posted anything new. So here are some random drawings I've been doodling on around the apartment.

Miniatures

These are some very small paintings that I have in progress. They are for the Miniature show at the Nth Gallery in October. Hope you like them so far cause my eyes hurt from squinting at them.

Peel

New work. I'm working with color a little differently. and obviously a lot of white. This one is bigger then I have been going. 36X22.

The Wait

I approached this painting with a new layering technique. White wash everything. In the early stages, a solid layer of white was put over the painting every time I used a new color. Toward the later stages I became more selective. The whites are intense in person. By underpainting with cool and warm tones, the white grew its own form. I feel good with the range of colors I used. In past paintings, I limited myself too much.

Reign

This painting took many many hours. There was a lot of back and forth with my lights and darks as well as massive amounts of composition editing. I like the green vs orange division. It creates a battle between two neutral colors fighting for depth in space. I feel some of the black is too heavy.
This painting and 7 others in the same style will be on exhibit at the Nth Gallery in Boone, NC on July 2nd. We are having our 13th anniversary show and fundraiser.

Price

This new painting titled "price" is the color of money and its composition much calmer than I have been working lately. These colors were quite the test. They were the result of having no paint. I had to work with what I had. This is also the first time I have broken one of these compositions into three parts. usually the compositions stretch across the entire picture plane, however this time I let it separate from itself.
