Winter Roses

September 8, 2016 in Art Events, exhibitions, Galleries, Musing, photography, Studio Notes, work on paper 2 Comments

While it is still in the 90 degrees outside in the Southern USA where I have my studio, I took a virtual trip to review photographs taken at the Savannah Botanical Gardens last winter. I am participating in an exhibition at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve gallery this fall for the next two months with … Continue reading →

Gray Space in the Middle

Gray Space in the Middle

January 21, 2016 in drawing, graphite, mixed media, Musing, Studio Notes, work on paper 7 Comments

It all started as an experiment with the new fat block of ArtGraf No.1 kneadable graphite and then the images took over, tumbling out…they are still coming. There are times when the image becomes very personal. I’m sure that is always true to an extent. Sometimes they are more intimate. Perhaps it is best not … Continue reading →

The summer of 2015 was a good one. A new series emerged. Pictured a few of the paintings.

Sometimes You Have to Play

April 18, 2015 in Artistic Goals, drawing, exhibitions, Musing, Painting Studio, Studio Notes 3 Comments

The beginning of the year in the studio until now and continuing are painting commissions and exhibits to prepare for. I am not complaining. No way! But there comes a time when it is necessary to stray off the path and play. By that I mean experiment with mediums. Today was the day to play … Continue reading →

Spontaneous

November 5, 2014 in drawing, Encaustic Techniques, Musing, painting, Painting Studio, Studio Notes

While continuing my series of drawings on TerraSkin, I see a new direction. I began adding color, using the many varieties of India ink even though I liked the monochromatic images. Then came the realization that perhaps they could be translated into paintings. Now comes the experimentation with larger works on board in anticipation of adding … Continue reading →

The Proving Ground

May 9, 2014 in Artistic Goals, drawing, Musing, painting, Studio Notes 3 Comments

Drawing, making works on paper, is my  way of investigating every series of paintings upon which I embark. For the two series that are growing simultaneously, “Passages” and “Layers of Memory”, I am continuing to investigate while both series are well underway, having begun both in 2012. At first I thought there would be a … Continue reading →

The Encaustic Studio

May 7, 2014 in Art Events, Encaustic Techniques, Encaustic Workshop Info, Painting Studio, Studio Notes

I gathered together some of the encaustic painting tools and there they are. Since I took these photos I have added new tools, a digital thermometer for example. In the upcoming Encaustic Workshop, June 14 and 15, I will introduce new supports. There are some interesting surfaces besides wood that may be used. Cannot wait … Continue reading →

Deep Water

March 19, 2014 in Encaustic Techniques, painting, Painting Studio, Studio Notes 4 Comments

I am spending days in the studio this week working on paintings I had hidden from my view so that I could think about them in the abstract, so to speak. When I turned them around to view them on Monday of this week, I had a renewed interest and began to find a way … Continue reading →

Visual Journaling

March 14, 2014 in Musing, photography, Studio Notes 8 Comments

On my way to the studio and when I’m traveling anywhere, I take photos. They are snapshots or as I call them, quickshots. I’m always looking and gathering information. Certainly not in any formal way but it is a way of satisfying my curiosity about the world I circulate within. I think of it as … Continue reading →
