Polyptych is a word I just learned—it’s defined as “a painting or other two-dimensional artwork made up of more than three panels.” I had originally painted these four 10x8” paintings back in 2015. They were hard to show anywhere since they needed to be displayed side-by-side in a specific order and so they often remained home in my studio where they’ve been accumulating dust for the last eight years. Anyway, I finally wised up and cleaned the canvases up, mounted them on a Masonite backing, and framed the whole collection in a simple frame.

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.

A return, for me, to a larger canvas size (basically three feet tall by five feet wide), this one was satisfying to complete—though it was a reminder of how much more work it takes to cover a canvas of this size. I’m obviously not done with this Notes on a Landscape series. My favorite part is the interplay between the beautiful sentiments portrayed, alongside silly trivial things. Stream of consciousness writing has always fascinated me. It’s a fun exercise, however brief in this application.
Here’s the little pseudo-poem in the middle of the field: “meet me in the park, beneath the trees, where the boughs bend, and sway in the warm windy-wind”
Video of the painting process coming soon!

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.

I’ve painted a similar painting before (thus the “#2” in the title) but never really returned to the idea until now. I like getting lost in the temperature changes of each successive hill—grays, reds, yellows, blues, violets. Just realized I probably should have named it Fractured Fields instead . . . the alliteration!

Orange Daisies, 16x20", $350 | This one did not turn out the way I had envisioned . . . or maybe I didn't have a clear vision in mind before I began. Either way, I wasn't too happy with the direction this painting was going for most of the time.

Not one but two new paintings in the same style. A more subdued, quiet style from me, perhaps, but I like it. Contact me if interested; and keep in mind, I can paint similar paintings in any size you'd like (would love to paint an extra-large version, for instance---hint, hint).
