Trying out a new format for showcasing the work on the blog and Facebook where the info is included in the image. I think it makes a nice presentation.

I'm in an experimental phase right now and I'm also into these unusual size rectangles. These skinny paintings are gaining popularity and work well in a small space where it's hard to find the right fit. I like the challenge of composition with these as well.
The title mirrors my views with art right now. Some people want to put limits on what you create, but I believe art is in a constant state of flux and should flow from within the artist. When you put a barrier in a stream, water will force it's way over or around one way or another. The flow can be challenged, slowed or checked, but the force behind it never ceases.

Beginnings.

24''x24''x1.5'' Palette Knife Acrylic/ Canvas
The first painting of 2011 has much to say and was painted quickly and intuitively. This one really came from inside. The black areas represent the closure or the fading out of the past and almost create a portal or doorway. What you see in the doorway is still unclear. Muted. Mysterious. Intriguing. There is light coming through, which tells me it's safe to venture beyond this door and keep moving ahead, discovering new things, touching lives, and casting aside fear and doubt.
This is not a black painting with color. It is color and light emerging through the dark.
May 2011 bring you all that you seek...and watch for open doors.
Endings....

I just want to say that I sincerely thank all of you who have followed my art this past year. Yes, I know it's already January 5th. I'm lagging on blog posts a bit.
2010 was a roller coaster year. There were many exciting things, but some trials and uncertain moments. Life seems to have leveled out some, and I'm looking forward to what 2011 has in store. As an artist, I'm believing this year will bring improvement and innovation in my work and some new opportunities to share it with others. I joined two great new galleries last year, one in Santa Fe, NM and in Tulsa, OK, and as a relatively emerging artist, I enjoyed some pretty good sales in this economy. That, I am thankful for.
Here are the last two paintings of 2010. Some of my mini 8''x8'' panels painted with palette knives.

The two paintings on the right side are mine. These high quality publications are the "go-to" guides for Santa Fe galleries and artists and are distributed all year, so the exposure is fantastic! To get your beautiful art filled copies, go to Santa Fe where they are all over, or visit their websites.

"FUSION"

I hope everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends. I did manage to finish this one new painting in the last few days and it's another one on the warm side. Winter makes me feel like painting red. Where is that heat?
