Christmas Card 2010

2010-12-23T07:25:00.000-08:00

Each year I do my Christmas card using one of my paintings or drawings. This year's card was different from my usual winter landscape scene, and was influenced by my visit to the Ghost Ranch in Abiqui, New Mexico and the home of artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Her home has numerous collections of skulls, bones and rocks which she used in some of her paintings. This is my "Georgia O'Keeffe" Christmas card, adding the red Christmas bulb to my drawing.

Color Field Painting

2010-10-09T12:15:00.000-07:00

Studying color fields. Reproductions of paintings by Jules Olitski's Tin Lizzie Green, and Mark Rothko's #34, that I did by glazing, using layers of oil paint mixed with Res-n-gel and mineral spirits. American painter Helen Frankenthaler is credited with pioneering this new technique, in which color gained primacy and became both composition and subject matter. I am learning this technique from Carlene Frances http://www.carlenefrances.com/

Sketches

2010-09-15T10:40:00.001-07:00

Heading to Lake Powell for some boating, so wanted to practice sketching. Since I have been doing oils, and there's not much room for my oil paints and easel, needed to work with my watercolors. These are done from photos; watercolor and sepia pen on 5X7 Bristol paper.

Fall Painting

2009-11-02T07:11:00.000-08:00

Stayed inside all day during a recent snow storm. Wishing it was fall. Going through my "How's Your Aspen" photos I found this one to paint. It is acrylic and mixed media. The aspen trunk and branches were first made on the canvas with Golden molding paste to give them a rough texture. The painting is 30" wide by 22" on wrapped 1" edge canvas. I'm calling it "Feeling Fallish".
