Bands Of Light-Art Piece

24x30 on wrapped canvas. Acrylic blue, green and yellow. I like long sweeping, wavy lines when I paint on broader surfaces. I use a wiping technique, and keep going until it feels complete. The idea is of a shimmering light you would see on water, underneath. This ideas was deeper in my head than I …

New Painting ‘Static’ Details

I bought Oil Pastels months ago, and have just now finished a painting. Took a little longer than acrylic, and I took my time with it. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to have good flow with this type of material, but I was wrong. Only The Winds Video on YouTube These songs …

What Comes to The Surface

I haven't painted in a few months because I moved, and then I was so exhausted, with a million things on my mind. What struck me as the most upsetting, was as an Expressionist I wanted to know why I could not paint when emotions are what I paint about. I was full up so …

Whatever Freak Show I Am, I embrace it!

I ordered Rafi Perez's new book: The Rogue Artist Survival Guide. So far it is great! I screenshot the above photo where he says these are things people will say to you about your art, and about your career. The average person has a mouthful to say about Artists. They think we are losers that …

Exploring Post Minimalism

On Instagram, there is a hashtag I follow called: Post Minimalism. I end up every day, about eighty percent of the time liking all the work, so I decided to look up the term. I feel stupid, but I had never heard of that phrase before. Turns out it is a rebellion against minimalism in …

Enough is Enough- Just Be Yourself

Collectors can be anyone. They do not have to be rich, or have a status, or stereotype. What stuck out the most, was in a casual sentence he said: "Maybe they fall in love with you as a person, and decide to buy your work.." . Whoa, what?  I started thinking right then, how much Rafi …

Always Seeking Out Light: My Painting-Tripping Into The Light

So, it's a late hot day. I am sitting down to paint. Ideas form on the canvas. A single light beam. I think of how much Edward Hopper painted light. I have always loved his work. I realize, surprisingly, that I am just like him. Hopper always wanted light to be showcased in his work. …
