….and she’s back!

 Let’s see if I remember how to post here! 

Hopefully I will remember how to post a few photos of my work. I have been doing more of my abstracted figurative work where I do an abstract and then look for inhabitants. I still do figurative pieces, but not as many. Abstract seems to be where I’m happiest lately. I’ve included a couple of the drawings I call finger drawings. These are ones I do on my phone with my finger, like a sketchbook drawing but the person I’m drawing doesn’t know it. 

That’s it for now. Maybe I’ll be back again some day. 

This was one of the first of the abstract figurative works. “What Lies Beneath” . It is sold. 

“Oh, How We Danced”

 “Claudine”

“The Band”

“His Side of the Story”

 

Recording reality

This 48" x 36" piece was recently in a show featuring work that expressed the artist's view of America today. Mine is titled " Recording Reality" . Each of the red stripes records one or more mass shootings as well as deaths that have occurred in the detention camps,at the southern border. The white stripes record some of the environmental regulation cancellations or rollbacks by this administration. There is more, but I won't force it on you.

Here are a couple more from 

my abstract conversation series. 

This piece is in a current show
"The Aesthetic of Our National Identity"
in Oak Park, Il.
Quite a thought provoking show.

There is an occasional life drawing in my days 

but mostly my work has become abstracted figures. 

These are paintings that begin as an abstract painting,

with no intention other than color choice. Once I am 

satisfied with the abstract I look to see if anyone is in there. 

Here are just a few....
