One more Time

Still working on this one.  Every time I post it, I see an area that I want to work on.  Back in my college days, before the cell phone and the computer, I would look at the painting through a mirror to help me see. Maybe seeing it on my camera or online is the same concept?  Subtle changes, but still...

Out of My Mind Series

It's funny when I titled this painting today, I titled it Out of My Mind because it was a landscape from my imagination.  It did not start as a landscape, it started with paper on wood with the color theme blue.   Although when I think about it, out of my mind is how I have felt this week.  (painting wise)  Sometimes called my shit phase of painting.  I probably should have taken a few pictures of the this phase but it wasn't making me feel good.  I did not like what I was seeing and questioned what the heck am I doing!  It is good to question...it makes me think of the possibilities.

Back to Abstract

The top painting is the beginning stage, well second or third layer.  The bottom is what I did to it last night.  Needs more work...tonight.  I feel like it lost the freshness.  On to more layers!

All Roads Lead to LA 2014 Show

I had a great time at the show tonight!  These are my mixed media pieces that are in the show.

There is one more night of the Italian Art and Culture celebration, tomorrow night.  Come check it out 5:00-8:00.  I'll be there!

All Roads Lead to LA Art Show

I will be part of the two day celebration of Italian Art and Culture show at the Santa Monica Arts Studios.  My work will be in the Hangar Gallery.

Santa Monica Mountains 3rd layer

Sometimes I feel like I have several personalities, abstract, fiber and landscape.  Guess I am in landscape mode today.  This definitely needs more work.

Second layer

Well, not sure I like this...needs more work.   The mountains need to fade back.  This would probably work better if I just painted the scene from outside, instead of from my head. It is a process.  Just think this painting used to be a moon!
