Crescent

"Crescent" 5" x 7" Pastel on black panel

I've been wanting to try my hand at a few more non-representational paintings. I come from a graphic design background, and it probably shows more here than in, say, my landscapes.  

I cut tape and stenciled the colors on the black panel, rubbed with my fingers, and drew around the roll of tape to make the crescent. I want to do more of these, but in a more sophisticated palette.

Puzzle Moon

"Puzzle Moon" 24" x 24" Acrylic on wrapped canvas

When autumn chilled the Puzzle Moon she dipped down to take comfort in the Earthly warmth of colorful leaves, a rippling stream and a halo of golden stars.  


I doodle puzzle shapes in real life.  Interconnection, spacial relationships, and graphic representation surface like this in my work cyclicly.  This style visited for a short time, then left.  I took the cue, and hung a series of them in my guest room.


This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Daily Paintworks auction. 


Thank you for stopping by.
