Last year, art sales were a struggle. I had a few successful shows early on, but then sales dwindled in the second half of the year, and I became unmotivated and stopped painting for months—too long really.
But it’s a new year, and I’m back and excited about creating new paintings and rekindling my creativity—I’ve already got a few ideas I’d like to explore in that regard. I am ready to getting back out into the world of art sales, starting with a return to the New Orleans art markets this year (starting January 27th at Marsalis Harmony Park).
That aside, and fresh off the easel, here are the first three paintings of the new year! Let me know if you’re interested. More to come.
Egret with Halo, 36x24”, $1000
Energetic Landscape #7, 18x24”, $500

I had originally intended to paint this in a more realistic manner, but once I sketched out the basic shapes in black paint (see the painting process video below), I found an immediate love for the look of the piece. This happens from time to time: plans change mid-painting based on the painting process itself. Ideas spring forth and develop over time, sometimes resulting in a different direction entirely. I do like the result—it’s a little cartoony, but I have no problem with that! A lovely, medium-size painting.
Note: sorry for the grainy photo . . . the painting looks much better in person.Frenchie is Bored, 20x20”, $500

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

This seems like a possible start of a series. I did one previous painting of a cat in silhouette, by the same name—-this one has more detail, but it’s mainly an exercise in line and form and color balance/unity, rather than crafting a naturalistic scene. I like it. Look for more in the future.

Third in the “Notes…” series. The addition of the halos (are they halos or is there another name for this type?) elevate this image to a whole new level for me. Without them, the birds are just birds. With them, the viewer takes a moment of reflection—-what does this mean? should I be more reverent? should I be angry about this? why?—-the effect of which is interesting. And hey, what more can I ask for than interesting artwork. I added the painting process video below.

This is one of the few images I’ve painted directly from my imagination instead of relying on a reference photo. It comes across as a painted cartoon, and I’m fine with that. This is the third time I’ve painted this image, this time spanning two canvases.
