Documenting my favorite details from a large painting that went off the rails—before I try to resuscitate it. Hoping I can bring it back 🤞😝

Putting the finishing touches on this big guy. On top of exploring layers of time, sound waves, parallel realities…, this new painting also revisits one of the concepts from my large, atmospheric painting series in the ‘00s — trying to capture the ethereal sensation of air against the skin or the enveloping embrace of fog or a mist—evoking elements of temperature, moisture, and movement. Subtle, shifting colors generate a quiet vibration. Similar to the way one’s gaze navigates through mist or fog, visual focus shifts, meandering from the forefront to the middle layers, occasionally settling on delicate accents of acid pink or flecks of mica that act as anchors or focal points. Really hard (impossible?) to experience in a post.
Acrylic & mica on canvas, 73 x 51 inches. Please swipe for details and a video. I’m learning to shoot video using my iPhone & a gimbal, so it’s a little wobbly.

#throwbackthursday post! Reworking a painting that’s been ‘percolating’ for quite a while. I work on several paintings at once, but don’t complete them all at the same rate. Some come together more quickly than others, some confound me so I need to take time to rethink & rework… or I just need to put a painting away for a year or more then look at it with fresh eyes & hopefully come up a fresh solution. This is one of those paintings. Excited about completing this & super excited about other new developments so stay tuned!

This was made several months ago but it was never posted. I’m looking at it differently today—new details emerge & tiny chromatic explosions turn into crazy ‘scapes. Acrylic on translucent synthetic paper, 12 x 9 inches. As usual, I’ve zeroed in on some details I like 👉

I love the unpredictability of pulling tools through wet paint—colors merge & pool into unexpected linear combinations. Gravity explodes those lines into accidental, abstract, invented landscapes. Double-sided painting, acrylic on translucent synthetic paper, 40 x 30 inches. Swipe to see closeups of some of my favorite areas.

New double-sided painting on paper. These are scaling up, so I’m moving out of my comfort zone & losing control here & there. Some paintings go over the edge, some are too `safe`, and some—like this piece—teeter on the edge. Today I`m digging the craziness in this painting, tomorrow I might not... I love letting the paint make its own path, but to an extent. In this series I`m also thinking about landscape, layers of time & geology. The bursts of unexpected surges of paint mimic forces of nature & out of control weather, fires & storms. 40 x 30 inches, acrylic on translucent synthetic paper. Swipe for some close-ups/details 👉

My version of fireworks. Incidental side effect: when hung a bit off the wall, the light bouncing through the translucent paper creates a slight glow from paint on the reverse side. Double-sided painting, 14 x 11 inches, acrylic on translucent synthetic paper. Swipe for some details. 👉🎇

New icy pink, psychedelic landscape painting in the studio! I took a social media art posting hiatus. In the days before Instagram, occasionally I’d promise myself not to show painting experiments to anyone in order to fully experiment without judgement. It gave me an opportunity to fully immerse myself in the process without any expectations or pressure & enabled me to explore uncharted territories, take risks, and delve deeper. Still experimenting, but I’m intrigued by this piece, it will lead to larger paintings.
