"First Red Movement,-" Painting

.






I now paint mostly with acrylics. I like to paint mostly on canvases that are medium size. I also have books of paintings and ideas, on paper that I have done just for fun. Most of my paintings can fit nicely in a hallway or living room to add some color and interest to a dull area. I rarely do large paintings anymore because I have no space to put them up on a wall.
Color, as you can see by my paintings is a very important element to me. I like to expand ideas by playing with the colors in the painting. I will paint over a colors and Gesso over a design if I don't think it works the way I want it too.
I spend a great deal of time planning each painting.
I am painting or drawing most of the time, but many of my paintings are not finish works for several weeks.
I take my time to do it right.
I can be reach also with a email. I live and paint in Fort Collins, Colorado.
I started drawing and painting at an early age, but when I was in high school in the late 1960's that is when I really started painting. While I was in college, I became interested in art and geometric drawings. Then I realize I could paint in a more " Geometric Abstraction" way. I learn about a Artis name Theo Van Doesburg who in 1917 did a painting called Geo-Abstraction. So, I put more of an effort towards painting in that style. After college I tried to sell some of my paintings', but I soon found out how hard that was. So, I put my art away for a while.
I came back to painting again after I retired. I love to paint which now I am finally able to do. I like to mix up different styles of abstract with impression, but I almost always fall back into painting Geo. Abstraction. Many of my ideas for paintings come from my years spent in working in manufacturing jobs.

I am in my 70's now, and I plan to keep painting until I run out of ideas or time. I really only show my paintings on Saatchi or to friends. I paint mostly for myself and sell a few paintings to make more space for new paintings.
Anyway, I hope you like what you see and might like to collect some of my works. Thanks for looking.
