Natural Discord

Painting while listening to RadioLab

“Nazi Summer Camp”, “Eye in the Sky”, “CRISPR”

and Youtube videos

“The Expulsion of the Acadians”, “The Acadian Deportation”

“French and Indian War Changes Fate of America”, “History of the Iroquois”

the art becomes a distilled expression

of dynamics

common to seemingly disparate subjects.

Independent entities

attempting to occupy the same space

increase their surface tension

expending energy

to control chaos

through tenuous agreements

while

entities with discrete relationship

to dark matter

destabilize

employing entropy to dominate

Centering

Meandering sketchy pencil

lost and fumbling in a void,

wanders the page

investigating edges and crossing paths,

building experience, 

building context.

Graviting above a foundation of edges

Centering

Bounty

Remembering last year's bounty of produce from Shortt's, an organic farm located just down the road, here in Sandy Hook. Every Sunday afternoon from the end of June into November, I brought a half-share home and spread it out on the kitchen counter. Vegetables so lovely, lush, full of form and color, many photos were taken of them.

This is a 5" x 7" acrylic painting on cradled panel. Referring to one of last year's photos, the painting was completed in one long sitting, on yet another snowy spring Saturday. Eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, cucumber, lettuce, and garlic: the ingredients for many good meals.

ESPOLON

Nothing like painting for a relaxing couple of hours, then sitting back and accessing the results while sipping on the still life. Limes and tequila, a great combination. Even better, is the artwork on the ESPOLON label. Check it out next time you're in the store.

This painting is a 5" x 7" acrylic on cradled panel.

Watch the auction on eBay.

Tony P. . . if you're out there. . . this one's for you! Fresh off the easel, you knew it was a keeper.

Up for auction this week on EBay.

That's Not What I Meant

The title describes the method. Painting begins with an effort to express my mood by using color and texture. As the paint dries, I see that what I've done does not aptly express my intentions. So I take another stab at it, add more color, more texture, and again that's not what I meant. I try again, and again. The painting builds until it finally speaks for itself, no longer needing my input.

This little ditty, is an acrylic painting on an Ampersand 5" x 7" basswood panel cradled with a 7/8" profile.

The auction on eBay will run for one week.
