Cathedral of Trees  

 16 x 16 x 1.5"    Oil on Gallery-wrap Canvas  

The Daily Paintworks Auctions   

Starting bid: $295.

It seems like when you walk through a wooded area, the branches rise up, crossing overhead, joining together to create a kind of cathedral, a church made of nature. That was the idea behind this scene. It reflects my "inner landscape." It's a journey of color and light - all is vivid around me. (It may speak to you the same way.)

         

This piece is painted on gallery-wrapped canvas and continues on all sides of the canvas. It is meant to hang flush against the wall and does not need further framing - unless you want. It comes with a wire on back, and is ready to hang.

By the River's Edge

20 x 16 x 1.5"   Oil on canvas

The Daily Paintworks Auctions 

starting bid: $295

(Back again!  I have been away for a few months, seeing to matters of health and finishing pieces that had sat waiting.)

This abstract piece is purely imaginary, and went through many changes and much time to get where it is now. It reflects a love for nocturnes and nature,  and considers the transcendental patterns of life. When it was started, I had no idea how it would turn out. A bit like life itself. Best of all, it was a lot of fun to paint!

Painted on all sides of a gallery-wrapped  canvas, this piece will hang flush against a wall, with no further need of framing.

Color Therapy

9” x 12”  acrylic on canvas

sold 

This little painting was started in desperation but finished in whimsy. Desperation because of one thing and another - I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted, I was forced to use acrylics (which I sometimes like and sometimes don’t), and more etceteras than you can shake a stick at. But then it began to come around to something I liked and had fun with, something I actually looked forward to painting and trying new ideas out on. 

Sooooo - I honestly don’t know what to call it... “Untitled #...” beh, ,“Ch-ch-changes”??? No, that’s just plagiarism. “The Journey”??? Oh, please. “Reincarnations”? “Incarnations” (weird!)  ….well, it was a little of all those things, but it was also a kind of therapy. Maybe "Color Therapy” ??   Yep, we’ll go with that!  (And move on to the next one.)

The paint covers all sides of the canvas. It can be framed, but you could hang it up just as it is; it would look good that way, too.

Snake Pond,

Cape Cod 

Acrylic on canvas,  9" x 12"

gifted

The Virtual Paintout is visiting Cape Cod, Massachusetts this month - this is a painting challenge using Google Street View. I toured around  until I found this nice place  by this big pond. Then I thought about it for a while – how could I make this picture fun and just a little different....   Well, as you can see, it was a lot of fun and it is a bit different, certainly for me!  You can see where I painted by clicking here!

This painting was painted on all sides of the canvas. You can frame it or hang it just as it is.
