Painting fog or I should say, doing a painting that looks out of focus is and has been a real interest for me..

"HEADING HOME"

With the high country behind me and L.A. straight ahead, I make my way west on the I-10 in the morning knowing that soon I'll be knee deep in traffic. So I set back and enjoy this sunrise, listen to soft tunes and paint pictures inside my head, looking forward to my next painting. This is an oil on archival board mounted on a 6x8 inch varnished wooden box.(Sold)

"ELOQUENCE"

My last day in the high country and the magic of light gave me one parting crescendo as I made my way back to the warmth of my van and waiting friends. My fascination with light and how to capture it is what drives me to paint. Ninety percent of the time I choose light that is racing at me at a little over 186,00 miles per second into my eyes. The subject in most cases is secondary. Oh! I can see the composition of what I’m choosing, but the light and all of its subtlety’s of colors that move over, around and past objects, thats what captures my attention. Using the smallest of brush’s, I just want to stop the light and say hello, how you do-in. This painting is on archival board mounted on a 6x8 inch varnished wooden box with no framing required. $140

"QUIETNESS OF THOUGHT"

After a long deliberation on this I added the skiff, and for me, it made all the difference in how I want to see this painting. There are not to many things in life that we can go back and change, so when the opportunity arises, I have no qualms about it or sharing. So! I'm posting it again. This must be the third time I have painted this location, and each time, I find something new.. Paintings journey is both the subject and the journey within, each gives of itself... As a painter, I must ask, "Am I being honest" And, can I own what ever the answer.... My God, I do love painting. This is a 6x8 inch oil on, Yes! archival board mounted on a varnished wooden box.
