I finished this piece basically in one extended painting session, recreating a piece I’d done back in 2005 (wow, that’s almost 20 years ago!). The original was smaller and not as wide as this one. I’ve included a couple of zoomed in detail shots below.

Here’s a series I return to from time to time to hone my skills at color balancing and intuitive painting. I like the painting process and I like the look of the resulting painting. (video posted below)

These lilypad paintings, like my “captive audience” series and other colorful abstract paintings, give me the freedom to play with [experiment with] color and line. The impact of the finished piece is eye-catching, in my opinion, making the whole endeavor somewhat addictive. Gotta paint more of these!

This large canvas would fit great above a mantle or sofa. I enjoyed experimenting with the color pallet on this one.

Haven’t picked up a brush in a few weeks. This one was prompted by the upcoming Memorial Day holiday (gave me an obvious subject matter to get me out of my painting slump). It’s nice and big. I like it.

This painting is the result of a painting challenge video I posted on my YouTube channel, also posted below. The challenge was to create a painting inspired by a blind contour drawing. This was the result.

I painted a couple of paintings of individual lilypads, one after the other, following the same basic painting methods. I videoed one of them (see video below), however after uploading the video, I changed the look of the painting a bit. That’s the problem with these type paintings—-there are so many options and stopping points that it’s’ hard to ever reach a finished state! You just have to throw in the towel at some point. Anyway, I like these.

The sixth painting in my Mad Symphony series. This is the first attempt at a vertical format. Works well, I think. Posting the video of the painting process down below.

"Mad Symphony No. 6", 40x30", $1050 (available for purchase as of this recording). I talk about making use of the painting process itself in a way that creates interest within the painting---giving the painting an internal history.
