"Landscape with Pink Flowers"
***SOLD***
This one, like "Sunday Morning", was created using Oils on Canvas. Same direction. I want to utilize motion in my pictures. By trusting the oil to move throught the canvas, using complimentary colors, and under toning, I feel it puts the vibration of life in the lanscape. I am curious to see where this new direction goes. This image was strickly from my imagination. But, I am looking forward to applying the movement style to actual locations, even still life.
"Sunday Morning" Oil on Canvas 8 1/2" x 11"
***SOLD***
I painted this in real time. Meaning, not from photo, and not over the course of a few days. It was painted with in a few hours, in truth, probably less than two.
It was a Sunday Morning, The snow began falling early in the morning, before the sun had even broken through the trees. Our street in Haddonfield, New Jersey that winter didn't keep snow on the ground more than a half day. I grabbed my oils, and a small canvas, and did my best to paint what I saw. It was an exercise that I had had little success with in the past, but to my delight, a little success this day.
While I returned to my "roots" with this piece by using oil paints, I also let myself explore a new painting movement. I love movement in my paintings, and oils are such a good medium to show it. I let myself move with the painting as opposed to holding on to try and paint how I thought realistic brush work should be. This is an attempt Impressionistic renderings. The first of many more to come...

"Blooming Glen Farms #1" Acrylic on Canvas
***SOLD***
Blooming Glen Farm located in beautiful Perkasie, PA is the setting for this painting. "Blooming Glen Farm #1" is my first landscape in acrylic. Not only is this the first acrylic, but this painting comes after a 2 year "sabbatical" on my part. When I say sabbatical, what I really mean is that I literally didn't paint a single piece in over two years. Starting with my pregnancy with my son, I left the oils behind and didn't touch a canvas until after my most recent trip to Sedona in February 2008. There, in Sedona to re-find my voice, and to figure out, what it is I should be doing with my career as a painter and as a new mother, I was scolded bluntly by a psychic there named Madison Morgan.
I had been lost and floundering in my creative ventures. In short, I was doing nothing. I had stopped. My new found best friend Madame Morgan had called me out! She knew I was an artist, and she knew I was doing zip with my talent. She told me my excuses (which, I had a few) were worthless, and I was LAZY. What will $90.00 buy you? A swift kick in the butt by a stranger.
So, with wisdom from a lady I had never met, nor am likely to see again, I took my lazy, cynical, grumpy butt back to NJ. I pulled a photograph from my collection, Blooming Glen Farm, and started. I sat down with some new acrylic paints I had recently purchased and in a few hours painted two pieces.
There's is nothing like the unadulterated truth, to motivate a person. Special Thanks to Madison Morgan for a good clean verbal boot to the butt.
