A New Day

"A New Day"
6" x 6" 
Oil on hardboard
It's a new day, ripe with opportunities to come to clarity and heal.  Would that it were as simple as dissipating a cloud cover to whisk away our woes.  


Sky paintings are therapeutic for me. I respond spontaneously to how the paint moves on the ground, be it canvas or board.  Small ones are often warmups for a more detailed painting.

Thank you for being here today.

There Are No Minor Miracles


"There Are No Minor Miracles"
detail of original
8" x 12"
Oil on canvas panel



When for whatever reason success seems unlikely, we occasionally witness a miracle nevertheless. I referred to my most recent one as a minor miracle, but was corrected. "There is no such thing as a minor miracle. A miracle is a ... miracle."  I have to agree. To assign degrees to miracles is wrong.  I'm thankful and thrilled to have been a part of a lovely ... miracle! 

You are seeing only part of today's painting. The photo, when scaled to the same size I've used for nearly three hundred posts had such a moire pattern across it, that it looked like I pained on burlap. The original is horizontal and there is more image to the right.  I'll scan it instead, when the paint is dry, and post it again.  

Thank you for contributing to my joy by looking at my art.

Good Night

"Good Night"
6" x 6"
Oil on gessoed hardboard
The end... came as a shock when we'd been having so much fun.  It was daylight one moment, all bright and sunny. Then the clouds moved in, the colors changed and suddenly it was dark.  Too dark to say "Good Night?"  

I painted this thirty-minute painting tonight after a long, difficult day, and before I knew what hit me, it was time to clean my brushes and try... to fall asleep.   

Thank you for staying close.
