A Moment of Clarity

I often work well into the morning, quietly mixing wax and oil and applying it to large canvases. on Wednesday I was struggling with a 30x30 canvas that I had started painting on about three months ago. I had mixed up a too large amount of white. Looking at what I had started and realized it would never work, I started laying on the white wax and oil and the image became evident almost immediately. Who was it that said he just carved away anything that wasn't the object he was carving?
That is kind of what happened here.

"Cat on the Beach"

Here is an easel shot of my weird sense of humour at work.

30x30 Oil and cold wax on linen. Prints available up to 30x30.

New Print with New Blankets!!!

Today I got my new press blankets and put them on my press. The top blanket is the "pusher" and the thin blanket on the bottom is the "catcher" I have no idea what the middle one is called.
After running the blankets through the press 20 times and increasing pressure each time I was able to print this little gem.
I saw this image on Facebook from a friend, Kenny Helphand and used it to create this image.

"Into the Woods"

revisiting "Women in Stone"

I decided to paint on the big photos used for my show a few years ago. Pretty happy with the results.

"Yes, These are All by the Same Artist"

"Yes, These are All by the Same Artist", opens at Oregon Wine LAB Friday the 1st.

There, now you don't have to go have an exciting glass of wine, enjoy some absolutely beautiful food from Danang food cart, and bathe in the emotional and intellectual vibes of fellow wine lovers.
