Disappearing acts as an m.o. lately, oops.
Made it to dawn a while back, quick digital color study trying to wrap my head around how this could translate into paint. Shapes, shadows, and very delicate luminations.
Otherwise, wrapping up two complex paintings I hope to share soon.

Rolling along. Especially loving that bit of water from my painting of time spent in Venice.
Though - one of my techniques is using phthalo green (blue shade) to build up glazed layers of a nice vibrating dark, and no camera has ever been able to pick up its glow and depths. Whomp.

Earlier this year I was commissioned to paint three landscapes of Chula Vista to be turned into 4x6' signs publicly installed at the newly opened Gaylord Pacific Resort. Well, they're finally up!

Okay, working on two paintings like this is crazy making. Slowly but surely though… (so, so much farther to go)

Ahh! Just got word that three paintings I did this spring for a big public commission are installed on site!
I've been holding back from sharing this for months because it's been a dream project / I've been in perpetual 'pinch me this can't be real' mode.
Photos soon!
Wild, just, so wild :D

Hit some flow state today. Roughing in brighter colors before I bring desaturation into balance. I’ve never worked on two paintings simultaneously like this before, but since they’re related, makes sense. Two times the buzzy brain, though.
How it started / How it’ going. Many shifts ahead.

My internal seasons are habitually out of step. I'm trying to work through winter pieces so they'll maybe be done by the first drifting of snow?
Here's a thought from last year I worked out digitally that's on the mental back burner. Wonder if it'll ever make it on canvas.

The latest. I've been thinking about personal lore and stories we tell to / about ourselves. This one has a really long rambling title, so here I'll just call it -
"Stories / Myths"
Acrylic on 6x8" claybord panel

If you start with the lamp, the hands tell a tale.

Edward Hopper really snuck up on me. I had seen his greatest hits, but looking into his full body of work - holy sht. I'm smitten.

I painted this sketch (left) a few years ago thinking it was a quiet and magnetic view but - worthy of recording? Painted it anyway.
Stumbled upon this Degas piece I'd never seen before (right) & am feeling better about the view that drew my eye.

This is my brain on books.
Art just knocks me sideways - be it books, music, paintings, fashion, you name it. I will never understand anyone who isn't absolutely voracious about art. It's the air in my lungs.

So I have this really exciting commission on my easel, & at times I need a guide when trying to wrap my head around handling certain compositions, shapes, brushwork - art is constant study as well as practice. So I'm sitting here with one of my favorite art books - (con't in comments)
