Untitled 0.37 48×60 (Oil on Canvas) – Commissioned

This commissioned work was a joy to create. It began with some text message discussions on important colors, the location that it would hang and some general thoughts on the overall composition. I spend a great deal of time with my commission clients to get an understanding of not only where the painting will be […]

Untitled 0.38 36×36 “For Kate” (Oil on Canvas) – Commissioned

This piece is an adaptation of Untitled 0.36, 0.35 and 0.26. She loved this style and wanted one in a smaller size for a very specific wall. There are some very distinct differences and colors to this piece that are specific for this very special client. Beginnings. Depth. Hopeful.

Untitled 0.24 (36×48, oil on canvas) – Commissioned

The essence of these paintings is motion, the force that brings light out of dark and substance out of void, the ultimate drama. Arts Magazine, September 1958.

Untitled 0.22 (30×48, oil on canvas) – COMMISSIONED

Art News, December 1952 The move to larger format canvas has been […]

It began with some instant messages on Facebook. “I’m drawn to the abstract… it reminds me of the ocean for some reason…” From there, we continued the conversation over email and it was soon that there was a specific painting project that was needing to be completed. It all started from this picture. Debra and […]

Untitled 0.10 – For Matt and Beth (12×16, oil on canvas) – Commissioned

My friends Matt and Beth were drawn to the “triplet” paintings I’ve done, especially the colors of Untitled 0.2. Untitled 0.10 was done with warm colors and I wanted to mount this when complete vs. frame so it stands alone without distraction.

Untitled 0.17 (for Peyton), 30×40 oil on canvas

My daughter Peyton simply amazes me. She went on a cleaning spree this weekend to make changes to her room and after dismantling, organizing, purging, donating and sorting; she had her plan ready. A question she asked me included ‘Would you paint me a large canvas for my room?’. Before I could say Yes! she […]
