It’s Magic!…………Black Magic of course!

My work tends to focus on bright and vivid colors. The brighter the better as far as I am concerned. I am not afraid of red and orange and use them copiously within my paintings. So it is definitely “different” for me to produce darker imagery. But I do have a “dark side” and enjoy eliciting a feeling from my viewers using just shadow, highlights and shape.

The piece displayed above titled “Revelation” started as a photograph of a Nambe bowl which is a solid shiny silver. I then used a variety of processing to achieve the end result. It “revealed” itself to me and now I to you. Enjoy!

On Labor Day….I labor. It is a day off for many and a time to sleep in and maybe BBQ. To me there is no better way to celebrate my labors than to create even more! In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.

I am doing my part by contributing. Right now I am working on a new series called the “Moda Series”. These are modern pieces with clean lines and simple colors. I enjoy the simplicity of them and the challenge to create balance with so few elements to work with.

Enjoy them here:

It only sounds “naughty”. I recently purchased some translucent Yupo which is quite different from the white Yupo I normally enjoy painting on. I started slinging paint and found that it didn’t quite look as vibrant as I normally like, so I stacked a few up and set them aside. Later I came back to the stack and realized that the “layers” actually created a cool image. “Vitality” is a combination of 3 paintings stacked one on top of the other with the translucence allowing a small amount of each to show. I will be getting layered again real soon. 🙂
