New work in a summer of heat.

It was extra hot this summer so that working in a heated medium was less desirable. However when the spirit calls the artist goes to work. Perhaps the cool palette was my answer to making paintings with a quiet, soothing tone in spite of the weather.

Revisiting older work

The inquiry from a curious collector made me return to my storage area to look once again at some work that I had filed as "Potential". Asked "Do you have any more landscapes?" I remembered these 2 which I felt were almost finished. On closer inspection I gave each another scrutinizing and then added what was needed. This is the part of being a painter I love, that is the ultimate control to decide.

OPEN STUDIO - an invitation

Normally an artist spends countless hours in solitary confinement. The process of making art is one that demands attention, focus, thought and a good deal of physical labor. So when it comes to OPEN STUDIO weekend in VT suddenly one's quiet, private world is opened and welcoming the world to come take a look.
Join us.....MAY 26 and 27 from 10 until 5 each day!

COLOR

Recently in an interview I was asked about my use of color in my work and although I gave a spontaneous answer I like this one from Matisse much better.

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
