"New Work and Progress"

I am constantly adding another painting to the 350 Series I am almost at 100 paintings here is a detail photo of progress. I am also working on a series of abstract oil paintings here is a look at a new painting. Lots to do and it is only Tuesday sometimes I wish there were 48 hours in a day.

350 Series-Progress and Growth

I am happy to report that the 350 series continues to grow...I just got a shipment of 100 canvas boards. I am hoping to have at least 200 by mid Sept. I am constantly thinking of the many ways I can display this series of work once completed...the options are almost infinite!

Painting-July

I have been working on two new series back to back in my new studio space this past month.

The 350 Series which is limited to only the colors black and white and grey...I am enjoying what a limited color palette is bringing to my work.

I am also working on a new series of abstract paintings...somehow switching back and forth from black and white to vivid color is helping me explore color in a new way.

"350 SERIES"

I am starting a new series of paintings based on the number 350. This number is relevant to the environment 350 parts per million of Co2 in the earth's atmosphere. Right now we are approximately reaching around 380 parts per-million in the atmosphere. This body of work is my expression and action of raising awareness about our carbon reduction plan as a whole people. As an artist I am always inspired by nature in my work and feel blessed to experience the beauty of the world around me and want future generations to be able to experience nature, as we know it as well.

"Working Hard in the Studio"

About a month left until I am done with my new series! This month has been interesting so far...just when I think I have streched my color palette a new group of colors present themselves. I am looking forward to the next three weeks of painting!

WAITING FOR THE PAINT TO DRY AND THE NEW YEAR TO BEGIN 2009!

December Abstract-

Between abstract and real...this place has become my new challenge. Since August I have been inspired by the vast landscape of the Big Island-Hawaii. I am enjoying the challenge of painting using my memory of a place to create a painting.
