Paintings of Time and Place

"I Love my Land and my People, Oil Painting on Gessoed Paper

Another one of my Southwest paintings.  Because I live in the Southwest, it is impossible to ignore the influence of land and people on my work.  I have been told to work in one genre only as many artists have been told by galleries and art professionals and most of my work is contemporary figurative or abstract.  However, every once in a while for a change of pace, I go back to Southwest work.  This is the latest.

I Love my Land and my People, Oil on Gessoed Paper, 6 X 4 inches (image size), 14 X 12 (framed size), $290

A New Monotype in the Works

Starting to work on a new monotype similar to The Secrets Within.  This is the first step:  random strokes of etching ink applied to a plastic plate, then run off with the etching press.  Where it goes from here, I am uncertain.  Another monoprint on top?  Watercolor applied in the between spaces?  Oil applied to make a portrait?  Or something completely different?

A Taos Original, Monotype with Oil

A man in a hat, not the cat in a hat--an image which appeared as I was playing with color and line.  Somewhere deep in my psyche I have an image of a man here in Taos who wore a tall hat much of the time (much like the man in this monotype).  He is long gone from Taos and the planet, but the residual remains.

The Secrets Within, Monotype with Oil

A new experimental monotype for me:  Background of black and white printed with etching press--random marks on the plate finished with swishes of oil paint to create a contemporary figure.
