I am happy to announce that I have sold my work Mountain Terrain (Sunset – Sunrise) 2020 to a collector in Alexandria, VA USA. The work is 16 x 20 inches and is nature inspired by mountain views. This is a smaller work being 16 x 20 inches but as you can see even a smaller work can make a BIG impression! You might not think that you have wall space for one of my larger works but you can certainly make room for a work of this size and bring some color to any room!

Remember the holidays are right around the corner and what makes a better gift than the gift of original art!

The collector who purchased One Blue Line also purchased this work entitled The Deepest Ocean (Turquoise Spectra) 2 and it will soon be on its way to the United Kingdom as well! It is always nice to see collectors who know what they want and go for it! Thank you and enjoy your new artworks! Why not take a moment to check out the SHOP and see if you find something that speaks to you as this collector recently did!

I am happy to announce the sale of two of my works – One Blue Line To a collector in the United Kingdom. It is always rewarding to ship my work outside of the United States and know that I have work hanging all over the world.

It is always rewarding to have your work acknowledged so having my painting – A Color Equation 3 included in the Saatchi Art gallery’s weekly collection of New Work by Rebecca Wilson – Chief Curator and Director at Saatchi Art is especially thrilling for me!

Here is the featured work – A Color Equation 3 – part of a new series!

 

Check out past blog posts for all of the other times I have had work included in the Saatchi Art’s “New This Week” collections.

 

It’s already June the 6th month and the 15th of June so we are EXACTLY HALF WAY THROUGH THE YEAR! The time either seems to drag or fly by. It is clear that we do not have a full understanding of just what triggers contribute to our perception of how quickly or slowly time seems to pass in our minds yet.

I do know that our surroundings – which include the visual information we take in consciously or unconsciously,  can improve your fame of mind or mood. This is also done with art that we find visually interesting or intellectually challenging – or – which even speaks to you on am emotional level (again consciously or unconsciously) and you simply like looking at it.

You are reading this because you are interested in art and I invite you to view the works I have currently available and see if any of them speak to you.

 

The lock-down has not been easy on anyone. I am fortunate to live in Los Angeles and to have the opportunity to attend this exhibit as the first art exhibition I was able to attend since the pandemic started – what an amazing showing it was! Gerhard Richter: Cage Paintings / Dec 2020 / Gagosian Gallery – Beverly Hills

It was amazing to be alone with these massive work paintings from the master Gerhard Richter! The gallery staggered visitors so that it was possible to experience the exhibition with minimal disturbance. My partner and I had the exhibit to ourselves for 15 minutes to enjoy an immersive experience with no distractions.

It was amazing to have this as the first exhibit during the pandemic – really quite surreal! Enjoy the photos!

 

I am starting a NEW Series of blog posts that I am calling “Tales From The Studio”. In it I want to share with you some of the interesting things and/or experiences that I have encountered or dealt with as a working artist!

This the first post from the series! I hope you enjoy this small glimpse into my life as an artist…

Here is a photograph of what appears to be a painting taken in the studio here in West Hollywood. This vibrant “painting” uses a multitude of colors as you can see below.

So What Do YOU Think Of This “Masterpiece”?

Sorry but you can’t buy this painting because the truth is that this is just a tiny section of the wall in my studio!

The “painting” is actually the remnants of 100’s of paintings I have made with the canvas on that wall using my action splatter technique. While it might appear huge in reality the image measures just 8 x 4 inches and remember that is just a tiny section of the wall! 100s of individual lines – each representing a swing of my arm throwing a line of paint! If you want to see the proof just check out the abstract paintings already sold this year – 2021!

I just thought it was cool to see and really shows off the range of colors that I use. Note that my colors are usually hand-mixed and are unique to each one of a kind painting that I create! So we made it through 2020 and this is a New Year so why not treat yourself to some New Art!
