New Work, New Series

In the Couch 56 x 70I have just begun a completely new series of paintings. I have moved away from the Still Life where in the past several years I painted first a series of “Tools” and then up until just recently a series of “Fruit.” I am now, once again (after more than 10 years) painting the Human Figure.

This time, the paintings are quite large and this time, I am using all that I have learned during these past 10 years; abstracting the image, the journey through the canvas, the simpler planes of a reduced abstraction, color moments, paint and medium application, scale and significant movements in Art History.

I am very excited with my first painting in this series whose title is “In the Couch.” The mood, as always is revealed but now all the other elements mentioned including the emotion behind it all is also captured and conveyed.

As more paintings get painted, I will keep you posted!

    Hey this was doubtlessly one of the most effective articles I’ve had the chance to go over on the topic so far. I do not understand where you learn all your data but keep it coming! I am going to send some people your way to take a look at this post. Amazing, just plain fantastic. I am have just started getting into spitting out articles myself, nothing compared to your writing skills (doh) but I would love for you to take my stuff sometime! bowfelx series 7 treadmill
