Abstract Nature Studies on Paper
—
by
To try and stay loose with my painting, I like to create these small abstract nature studies on paper. I call them smalls. It’s not always as easy as it looks. First, I started with mark making, then paint sploshing and swishing, carving into wet paint with the end of my brush handle and smudging…

New organic paintings

Ancestral Lands new moon and tree painting series
I’ve finished painting three of the works for a new moon and tree series I’ve titled “Ancestral Lands”. These paintings are purely an experiment in color, imagination and play. They’ve evolved from completely unrelated paintings that I immediately took a dislike to, so I painted over them. Below, you can see the painting underneath the…
