just words.

I have several painitngs lying around. Some on Canvas , some on paper, and i have been in quiet, withdrawel from my intense creative surges...
So that's it, really...suppose I could just upload some, but i became unhappy with the last few peices, and , so, i slowed, to a stop..... and then slept a great deal.
so here i am now. Any thoughts? any body? Comments aprreciated.

It is 20x24.'' Three more are coming. Back soon!

"three moons"

I just finished this a few days ago. It is on paper, 15 x20. It is all acyrlic paint, with a white border completely around the entire peice. Many circles and lines, bending and connecting.. I am playing around with shapes defined by color...the subject matter is staying idle, at least for this one. Sometimes, to "just play" is good. My next peice is drying. Back soon.

"Winter"

This mixed media piece, although it is just charcoal, with the

smearing of the black blending with

splashes of lavenderand sky blue acyrlic paint.it is done on "heavy" paper 18x24.

Many new paintings coming soon!

"enigma"

this is two days old...abstract and yet still lucid. I cannot say there is a story behind it because I am still not sure where it came from in my imagination, or if and what it means anything...It is 18x24, on rough 300 lb paper.
For sale...The medium used is Charcoal, finished with Acyrlic painting, a bit of oil, and a gloss finish. Several more peices like it are quite likely to be posted this week. I believe it is simply "open to interpretation," if one is needed. As for my own
(interpretation) , I have already painted three more, and not in the same colors , or content.

"ArtSpan"

contemporary art

"Map of Nowhere."

This is my latest painting...just did it the other night, all night. It is charcoal, and acyrlic, using artists tape to create a layered affect.

I am calling it "Map of Nowhere."

"Locomotive"

This is called "Locomotive." The mediums used are acyrlic and charcoal on
15 x20 rough paper. Though catagorically abstract, it has enough shape and design which gives it the "machinery" look little boys love, and the implied movement of wheels in motion, hence, "a train, in Loco-motion."
It is for sale, and there are many more to come...

SOLD

"Untitled"

This is a recent addition to my latest paintings...it is acyrlic on 15x20 rough paper, with charcoal laying down the outlines of the shapes and objects, a sort of "grid-like" map before the color is added...
