Part of a new series of brightly colored paintings based on models
Two Chillin’ (watercolor)
expressionism
Lonely Woman: At the Beach
The figure gazes out the window as she projects alternative futures, thus Lonely Woman singular. It is inspired by the work of Edward Hopper and ‘Morning LIght’ an impressionist painting.
Croquis Cafe
Croquis Cafe is an ode to Edward Hopper’s Sunlight In a Cafeteria. Strong lines are offset by soft figures. Unlike the loneliness of a Hopper scene, here we have activity and movement in an art cafe. “Croquis” is the French for sketch.
In a van Gogh Field
This adds to my series of paintings echoing Van Gogh. The lark makes an appearance in the scrumbly, swilley sky as brightly dressed visitors head for the field.
Tubas at the Palau, acrylics
This is another in a series of paintings based on pen and ink drawings done at the Palau de la Musica. There are normally tuba and contrabass sections of these symphonic bands.
In Vincent’s Field
This is after Van Gogh’s “Wheat Field with a Lark,” It is the fifth in the series, starring my wife Peg and my friend Vincent.
Woman, With Hair
Peg and Sari
A Fauvish and expressionistic piece about the close relationship between the women. The visual weight of the red hair flows into the complements of yellow and blue, grounding the composition. Free flowing strokes and strong colors.
Singer, Drummer, Sax, Clarinets, Singers
From my music series, Singer Sax Drummer is based on a drawing done at the Palau de la Musica in Valencia. I have included the drawing below. It is done in acrylics. There are two distinct planes. You see two instrument playing muses, one kicking her leg up. This painting is a fusion of automatic drawing and an abstract background with bright and strong colors.
