Posted April 12, 2012 from Seattle After a couple years of work I finally called it quits on the Rockfish painting and it will be available as an offset-litho signed 14 x 18 poster within 2 weeks. I’ll be thrilled a little more even than usual to be able to put this out and will … Continue reading
Posted March 18, 2012 from Seattle, WA I’ve mainly been working on Rockfish and other preparations for the next offset litho printing coming soon. But there are some all-new paintings in the studio. The most critical is a 60 inch wide gatorboard painting I’m just beginning of the Seattle Skyline. So far, that’s just pencil … Continue reading
Posted Feb. 11 from Seattle The Market Snow painting started in the last blog is going great, I couldn’t be happier. It’s such a nice place from which to view the market, one wonders even if I should remove the snow and let the scene have year-round appeal. But the colors are working well as … Continue reading
Posted Jan 31, 2012 from Seattle I’ve embarked on my third Pike Place Market snow try. I want to get that French Impressionist look so everyone will need to seriously wish me luck there. I went down to the market during the height of the snow storm and realized how charming the view of the … Continue reading
Posted Dec. 5, 2011 from Seattle, WA This time of year I always get it in my head that people want snow paintings. That’s not for-sure, but this is: I’d like to have snow paintings in case anyone asks. This is my second attempt at snow in the Market, based on actual photos I took … Continue reading
Posted Nov. 17, 2011 from Seattle, WA I am hoping to visit the printers before all the New Year’s parties, and I have room on the sheet for two new 14 x 18 posters. I’ve been working hard on “Last Call for Anacortes,” shown above, and thinking that is finally completely done after 6 years. … Continue reading
Posted Nov. 11 2011 from Seattle, WA Normally I start a painting and immediately start solving problems. But this time I’m not identifying what the problems are, so I’m just in finish-mode. I wish I had a vase of tall blue flowers, I guess, and maybe that’s a problem. There is also the possibility that … Continue reading
Posted from Seattle, WA Nov. 3, 2011 Nobody’s getting married, I’m working on paintings that are old and some that are new. New trumps old these days so here’s my latest new start: I am delighted, as I usually am at this stage. Sometimes people pick up on that and say, “Why don’t you … Continue reading
Posted Sept. 30, 2011 This is the latest version of my painting of Deception Pass. This shot is just a snap shot of the painting, but I’m posting it because I feel there are atmospherics creeping into this work and there’s a possibility it’s gone up a notch in quality. I’m working on the Madrona leaves … Continue reading
Posted Sept. 18, 2011 from Seattle The Tanagers are a relentlessly colorful group of birds that emanate from the neotropics. The only one that makes it up to the Mountain West and Northwest is the famed Western Tanager. Sometimes you’ll see a pale young male and say, “oh, that’s nice,” but then a brightly colored individual … Continue reading
