Falling Light and Poetry

I have a firm belief that my paintings are visual poems. What I am trying to convey is a feeling. I give just enough information to catch the viewers attention and then allow their imaginations take them away.

I belive I have succeed with Falling Light.

Where does it take you.

Leap of Faith

Acrylic, Graphite, and Charcoal 

on Yupo

17.20" x 23"

Sold

I have been working on Yupo for the past few weeks. It has a lovely smooth surface. The graphite and charcoal glide across the surface. It accepts the paint and also resists it. It is a fascinating and seductive material to work on.

Detail of Leap of Faith

Generally I do not incorporate a lot of texture in my work. I prefer implied texture, even when working on canvas. However, I find myself building and manipulating texture on the Yupo, both actual by building layers that have more body and implied by layering paint of different values and transparencies.

I have no idea where this is all leading me to, but I am enjoying the trek.

Happy New Year!!!

Under Painting

Acrylic on Canvas

40"x 60"x 2"

Good by 2011 and Hello Gorgeous!
This under painting is my clean slate. It is nebulous. The change in light will reveal some shapes and others will disappear. I will have a vague idea of where this painting is going. What I want to explore and discover, but like a gift, what the finished painting will become will be a surprise.
Here's to 2012 being a wonderous gift.
