My six paintings right when you walk in the gallery, all in the Landing series.

So we had a fabulous opening at Working With Wax last night. Lots of people and talking. Thomas Morphis the curator put together an amazing show. Thomas selected artists that all have a sensibilitiy of gorgeous surface, intuitive composition and either lush color or quiet monochrome. Of course being at the opening it is hard to actually look at the art, talking to everyone, chatting about my work. But I did get to take a few minutes in front of Eleanor wood's work. She combines watercolor, wax, pastels, oil stick, thread, etc on paper. Very compelling.. And Julie Nelson also minimal color but very beautiful and funny... the website has a slide show to see all the work. But these have to been seen in person to really get the full effect.

The artists are:

Tracey Adams, Mary Black, Emily Clawson, Robin Denevan, Eileen P. Goldenberg, Howard Hersh, Lisa Kairos, Julie Nelson, Mark Perlman, Carrie Ann Plank, and Eleanor Wood

It is worth the trip to see the show. There will be a talk by Mark Perlman on Monday Jan 25 from noon -1:30 and Mary Black will be doing a demo on Feb 4 1-4.

the website for the show is: http://www.santarosa.edu/art-gallery/past-exhibits/encaustic-slideshow/tracey-adams-01.shtml

Here are a few new pieces in the Landing Series. I am done with shows and sales for the year and now time to relax and recharge. I have been feeling very quiet and contemplative. Been drawing allot and thinking... I am looking forward to a few months of solid painting and I have some ideas brewing... Happy New Year to everyone!

Artist of the Month for November on R&F

I am Artist of the Month for November on the R&F website www.rfpaints.com I have images up and an interview with Laura Moriarty. My new Array series are shown on the site.

In the Array series I am working with grid based content, larger dots connecting with smaller dots forming the whole. Array is referring to organization and implies order. Nature seems random but she is actually very ordered. The pieces have a soft geometry, giving the feeling of the artist’s hand.
