The signs of Spring are everywhere outside, here's a glimpse of what's new in my studio, now.

A bunch of work is in progress right now, I just can't seem to resolve that a piece is finished and let it go. Have been working with oil. watercolor and acrylic on various surfaces. Here's two that I have resolved as being "done". Both paintings reflect my use of a reductive technique (It's more about removing paint with tools to reveal an image, than adding paint with a brush to create it). I have enjoyed the results when working with transparent paints on bright glossy surfaces. The results can be unique,

I am also working on a series of grass scenes using the same method, here is one that has been framed.

Grass Stand II 12"x12" Oil on white Aluminum 

Had a favorite painting hanging in my home, that was painted in 2017, that I felt needed a change in the background. This, after looking at it for a year or so. Here's the update that I think is finished.

Rushing Water 24"x30" Acrylic/oil on Canvas.

Am working on my first two figurative paintings in oil, but they are not yet ready for prime time. Maybe on the next post.
