Over the last few weeks I have working on three different series of paintings ongoing in the studio. Find these three styles on the Latest Work page. I’ve separated them out so its easier to see the three styles.

The first is the Cold Wax method of painting, which has been on hold for the moment. I plan to revive this style either before or during a trip to Mexico with well known cold wax painter Jerry McLaughlin in October. These paintings are on the small side due to using a substrate of wood panels, which can be heavy. Some painters use museum quality heavy paper which then has to be glued to wood.

The second is the curvilinear series of large paintings using acrylic and mixed media. I have about five made, two of which have been sold. These paintings are inspired by the work of Claire B. Cotts, who I have been following and actually viewed her work in Santa Fe this past November. See comment on these paintings by noted arts writer John Koch in the REVIEW/BIO page.

Lastly, Inspired by the drip technique of Nicholas Wilton, I have been experimenting with acrylic on larger canvases. I have three done and another in the making. These are thrilling to make because you don’t know what you will come up with each time. Similar to what Gerhardt Richter says in the Netflix movie, you just react and keep going until it looks done.
