NEW WORK FOR SUMMER

Along with dropping off some new abstracts recently at Powers Gallery (see post Summertime 2019),  I also brought this just finished small painting that is part of my Memory Vessels* series.  This is mixed media consisting of cold wax medium, oil paint, India ink, graphite and crayon.  It is 6" x 6" on birch panel.  Powers Gallery has a selection of small paintings from this series. Whether working large scale or small, I find either size takes the same amount of time to create and the journey of each painting's development is always a winding road.

Please join me Saturday,  June 22nd at the opening reception of Summertime 2019.  Celebrate summer and art from 4-7 PM.  This is big show featuring many of the gallery's artists' work.  Powers Gallery is located at 144 Great Road, Route 2A, in Acton, MA, (across from Trader Joe's).



* I am currently redesigning my website and will have all my new paintings from the last year featured including my series on Memory Vessels. Fingers are crossed for a launch date in July.

SUMMER

Here are three more paintings in that summertime vibe.  Living through the four seasons of New England I like to keep that summer feeling with me all year.

These are mixed media on canvas consisting of acrylic, India ink, crayons and graphite.  It has been awhile since I worked on canvas so it was fun to change the surface.

These have yet to be titled.  My plan now is to go to the cool side as these summer days heat up (though its not officially summer until June 21st) and work on more paintings with a predominance of blues.  Blue reminds me of the water: New England's quiet ponds, cool lakes and the moody seas.

These two paintings will be part of Powers Gallery new exhibit Summertime 2019.  The opening reception is next Saturday, June 22nd from 4-7 PM, a day after the summer solstice.  I have three more paintings in this series ready to go and will post tomorrow.  There is something about these cadmium colors of yellow, orange and red that imply sizzle, energy and summertime.  And I just love working with such luscious colors.  What color speaks to you of summertime?
