Geometricals

When people look at my paintings I often hear comments like " how original"  or "you have the most versatile style".  True, and the reason is I paint the way I feel and that varies depending on where my brains or my thought process take me.  Even if I approach two paintings in the same day, they may appear differently depending on how I feel at the time.



 
 
 
I guess this one started in orange because of October and the Fall colors but how the geometrical came about?  Beats me.  I just get started, get involved and something like hunger or thirst makes me stop painting and then I look at it and I go: "did I just do that"?

Windows

People often ask me "what inspires you to paint a certain painting"?
To answer that question, "anything".




 
 
 
So the other day I was strolling around in an art store like a kid looking for candies and I came across this newly designed canvas with an inbuilt shadow box.  That became my inspiration right there and then to paint these two paintings:  Window I and Window II.  Both painted in oils borrowing plum and bamboo seasons.
