Found #5
Found #5 is the most recent painting in the Found series. Completed the last week in October, this painting is currently on display at Anthology Fine Art and has already been purchased by a wonderful couple. I love when I get to meet and talk with the people who purchase my work. I know that this painting will be loved in its new home.

Reflection XLI
Reflection XLI is one of my favorite paintings in the 24″x30″ format. Its simplicity exudes a quiet calm.

Reflection XL

Reflection XXXIX is the second in the series of 24″x30″ paintings that will debut tomorrow night at the opening reception of my solo show. Using what I learned from my first large painting, it took fewer layers to complete Reflection XXXIX. Attaching the handmade paper is intense because making a mistake at that point in the process is not an option. Luckily everything went smoothly!

Reflection XXXVIII
Reflection XXXVIII is the first of five large 24″x30″ paintings that will debut this Friday at the opening of my show. Working on a much larger scale presented problems that did not exist when working on my 9″x12″ paper previously. Creating solid blocks of color this large required many layers of paint and many “do-overs” with this first painting. I am quite picky about my work which would explain why I painted and repainted the dark blue area six different times. While this painting may look simple, the hours spent making it look that way are hidden in those layers!

Reflection XXXVII
I experimented with a new crackle medium in this painting. The medium spreads on like marshmallow and cracks as it dries. Although I do not have the time right now to work more in-depth with this material, I have it on my list of items to further explore in the future.

Show Postcard
I have been so busy creating that I have not had time to post all the new work. Last weekend, I completed a few more paintings that would need to be framed. I also made progress on the much larger 24″x30″ paintings. Aside from these paintings, my Transient series and my new paintings from the Found series will also be included in the show. I have received enthusiastic feedback from a small group of viewers who have seen the new work.

Studio with walls
My studio is really starting to look like a studio now! Last weekend while I was out of town, my husband and a friend spent days completing this task. From what I hear the ceiling was a tough task that took an entire day to complete. I am extremely lucky to have such hardworking and supportive people in my life. This weekend I am spending 6-8 hours each day working in my studio preparing for my show opening on November 4th. The walls makes it feel like a little house!

Reflection XXXV
I somehow missed the 150th painting celebration a few months ago, so let’s do the 157th painting celebration!! It is hard to believe how large my body of work has gotten in such a short period of time. I have completed my 37th painting in the Presence series and the Reflection series is not far behind with Reflection XXXV being the 35th. I have plans to finish between 5-7 paintings before the opening of my show in November, so those numbers will keep climbing!
