Plane Color

In critiques from one professor, I was instructed not to bring all areas of a piece up to the same level of finish. In this painting and a sister one I took that idea to an extreme. I left one side of each painting less finished.

This painting is a good example of layered glazes of acrylic. You can see one color through another. I started working this way following my college watercolor experiences.

Garden Color

In college, my professors fussed about us using “tube color” – colors straight out of the tube. We were encouraged to neutralize our colors. When I created paintings after college I tried to continue to mix colors that way. But then fans of my work complained that they missed my bright colors. This is one of several paintings I made in response to that complaint. I still make a point of using brighter colors.

Doodle Poles

Often I doodle images like this one . . . this time I decided to try one as a painting instead of just a sketch.
