A Fetching Shade of Green



Spring has sprung and this yellowy-green is currently my favorite, so it shows up in a lot of recent paintings.  For whatever reason this piece makes me think of a busy puppy fetching a stick.

new year, new work

Tic Tac Toe, mixed media on panel, 48 x 48 inches.

look out, sports fans

Here's a new hat I made from Alden's favorite worn-out T's.  A few stitches and buttons in contrasting color add some funkiness.  Hooray for knits, no hemming necessary!

rockin' in the new year

Gus rocks in the new year, sporting brown twill pants w/ rolled cuffs lined in Dad's cast off plaid shirt.  The big patch pockets are also lined w/ plaid.  Rock on 2012!

seriously shiny skirts

Zella strikes some serious poses in her twirly skirts - made from upholstery fabric remnants.

I started this one shortly after finishing Bubblegum and Kryptonite for ArtPrize.  Color field painting is a very new area of exploration for me, playing with softer edges, layers and glazes - doing less with drawing media and almost everything with a brush.  It feels like I'm teaching myself to paint, figuring out what works and what doesn't.

(not so) petit fours

Saying adieu to summer is such sweet sorrow, but a glorious autumn day is hard to beat.  This painting is from a current series of abstracted large-scale sweets.  (80" x 36")
