ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Abstract acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, all sides painted, no staples, with back braces, ready for show. Here I am rumminating on Mark Rothko once again. I like to think I have something to add regarding color field abstraction. It has taken me nearly a year to get this composition and motif the way I want it. I have employed a light over dark structure. Unlike Rothko, who used highly diluted applications of paint, my color field work tends toward the heavily layered approach when it comes to acrylic paint. I mixed color right on the support as I painted. After working with acrylic paint for a couple decades now, I am still learning quite a lot about the qualities of the medium. By the way, if I have never explained, I work primarily in acrylic because I seem to have some kind of allergic reaction to oil. I don't know if that's a real thing or not, but I definitely have an aversion to oil paint. Acrylic paint also seems to lend itself to mixed media application a little better than oil. So I admire Rothko greatly but I do differ from him in at least a couple ways. Thank you to the collector for purchasing this painting. Peace and Love.

I am an American abstract painter. Every so often I veer into expressionist representation and portraiture. On my own, I studied the fundamentals of art, the great artists, and all the many art movements. I am influenced by Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Impressionism, and the European Moderns. Part of the joy I find in painting is to participate in a dialogue with past masters. My mission is to make engaging and innovative artworks. I also hope to extend an appreciation of artistic creativity to a wide audience. The process I employ involves acrylic and mixed media. Paint and found material are combined on canvas, and I love to merge drawing with painting, whenever possible. Many of my original paintings are found in collections across North America, Europe, and Asia. A Certificate of Authenticity ships with each painting, along with background information about the making of the piece. All the work you see is available. Thank you for looking.
