New Images...The White Series

I have been hard at work trying to get done 25 small format paintings, nothing larger than 8"x10" to put on my website for sale...at an affordable price...there are time consuming in that I use so many glazes and fuss with them until I am satisfied they are done...I have 16 done, with 4 that have been photographed...within the next few days everything should be up and posted on my website with prices...also working on a proposal for another show, which is to include 10, 10"x30" paintings on canvas..they are included in,The White Series... deadline is March 31st. Anyway here are the four done paintings.. You have seen this image and the last image as the title page to my website and blog..

Opening at Munson-Williams...

I have three paintings on view at the, 62nd Exhibition of Central New York Artists at Munson-Williams Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, NY... The opening was Saturday night and the show looks amazing!!! I could not upload the invitation they sent me, it's a PDF, anyway the link is here,http://www.mwpai.org/museum-of-art/. I was so excited when I walked in and my work was right there in the center of Edward Wales Root Sculpture Court...They looked really good...I was concerned how they would handle lighting them, because I use a lot of medium for glazes and the surfaces are exceptionally shiny...Maybe I could sell them, they are for sale by the way, they, Munson-Williams is handling the sales...I was even more excited when my paintings were hanging in the same area as Jackson Pollocks', Number Two, 1949...You don't understand he is my favorite artist..not that I am in any way saying that my work is as great as  his, but I certainly won't forget it...The show is up until May 2, so there is plenty of time to go and see it...Now I keep thinking of all the other shows I can enter with The White Series...So much to paint and explore with the series...

More in Progress...

I really don't like to show anyone my work in progress, but I am so excited by the new series I started that I want to talk about it to everyone I meet, I imagine they wouldn't care, but it's important to me...

  

  

These are oil on gessoed paper...about 11" x 14"...there are scratches into the paper and I like how the paint fills in the marks...

In Progress

Here are images of the new work in progress I've been doing, the series is called, The White Series and I will post my artist statement later about the meaning behind the new series and what my plans are for it...it should be a lengthy series, my last series, Evolution, lasted 2 1/2 years, so this new series is a welcome change...Not a drastic change but an "Evolution" of the last series, heh, that was good.

these are images grouped together of all the small format paintings that I have been doing...

 

  

I squeezed them all together, but you get the idea...

  

all together...much better picture...

A close up...heavily layered, scratches into the surface of the wood and into the paint and numerous glazes...Still working on more work and will post images soon...
