East Bound!


Barsky Gallery - Hoboken, NJ

I'm very excited about my newest gallery representation on the East Coast! This great new gallery is located in the city that was the birthplace of Frank Sinatra and baseball, Hoboken, New Jersey.
Oh, and also home of The Cake Boss! Maybe I can sell him some art? Barsky Gallery is located at 49 Harrison Street in a renovated warehouse and features local, national, and international artists in a variety of styles and media. Hoboken is just a stone's throw across the Hudson from Manhattan, so I am pleased to be near one of the largest art markets in the world. I just received a fresh load of new canvas today and will be hitting it hard in preparation for this gallery and my other three, as well as the upcoming arts festival in Oklahoma.

Reminder about "Live Paint"



Don't forget, if you are anywhere near Tulsa, OK, I will be painting "live" at Lovetts Gallery on February 25th from 10am-5pm. I would love to see you and visit about my journey into abstract art.
Here is a link to info on Lovetts blog.

"Live Paint" at Lovetts Gallery- New Works

©2012 Mark Yearwood
"Capriole" (a playful leap)
12''x12'' Acrylic/Graphite
SOLD!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 25th if your are anywhere near Tulsa, OK and come out to watch me paint "live" at Lovetts Gallery from 10am - 5pm. It should be a fun and interesting day as I attempt to do this live painting thing for the first time! Hopefully the weather is great and this all can happen without a hitch. Oklahoma can be unpredictable in late winter.

I will also be bringing some new works with me, including a couple more of these 12x12'' pieces which stay in a constant state of "sold out" at Lovetts. This one called Capriole, means "a playful leap" and was one of the most spontaneous of this series. It also sold the quickest of all 12's as I painted it on Dec. 25 and it found a home January 11.

I look forward to smearing paint and meeting friends at Lovetts.
Don't miss it!

"Urban Myth" 18''x18'' -NEW

©2011 Mark Yearwood
"Urban Myth" 18''x18''
Acrylic/Graphite on 2.25'' deep canvas
Available at Lovetts Gallery

This 18x18'' is along the same lines as the 24'' posted last time and has a little more expressive texture and brighter colors. I like the raw, yet bright feel of this one and plan to keep exploring! Fun.

I still have some great small affordable works in the studio and in galleries. It's not too late to give the gift of art this year, even if it's for YOU!

"Interurban" 24''x24'' Abstract - NEW

©2011 Mark Yearwood
"Interurban" 24''x24''x2.25''
Acrylic/Graphite on Canvas

In this new piece, I'm trying to push a bit more contemporary feel into my work. I have still used the texture, loose palette knife strokes and linear work, but the composition is simplified. I'm happy with the direction and this could become an ongoing series with endless variations. I would like to hear what you think. Do you like this new look? I call it "organic architecture" or "urban rustic".
