Solo Exhibition



Local Color 24 x 48 SOLD

About 30 new pieces are now on view in my third annual Solo Exhibition at Breckenridge Gallery. The opening in this Saturday, July 30 from 1-5.  Please join me if you are in the area!

This year I revisited a lot of the places I observe on a daily basis in my own backyard.  It was a good challenge to reinterpret the landscapes I am so familiar with. I feel like I am starting to understand each spot in a way that allows me to explore some of my ideas about painting instead of focusing so much on the setting itself.  I pushed myself to go beyond my normal approach and I am very happy with some of the work.  I'm sure it will lead to further exploration of my favorite spots!

You can view the pieces on my website or on the gallery's website.

The Pond

There is a pond about a block from where I live.  I walk around it with my dog almost everyday.  Over the years, it has become a common place to find me painting and many of my works are about this one place.  Cezanne explored Mount St. Victoire in his backyard in much the same way.  Monet painted in series often throughout his life as well.

The pond is in constant flux, reflecting the seasons and the direction and position of the sun. I know the pond better than many other places I paint because I have painted it again and again.  There is a certain intimacy to those pieces (for me anyway).  Most of my works that come from this place have the word Reflection in their title.  I like the word because it connotes more than just a physical reflection.  It also connotes a sense of thought.
