My 1st blog post since August this year (2025) – Like starting new!
“My plan, my hope, is to keep this, my original layin, produce a new 2nd similar layin but add a content color layin; keep it; then repeat the steps with the two formative layers and see what finished product I might produce – 3 works total”

Painting in Focus – Summer 2025 @SaatchiArt – Seasonally Off, Emotionally On
…much of this whole write-up about Summer 2025, I discovered while writing this very post – a very similar creative path I experience painting. That’s part of what the creative effort does for me – helps me make sense of things I feel but can’t yet explain.

October 16, 2022 – Working Texture and Figures into Compositions I Like, Part 7 : Danseur en Bleu ( formerly Dancing Turquoise ) Completed in High Key
Though uniformly high key nearly to a fault – even the 9 year old grandson said maybe I needed to add some darker colors 😊 – I’m declaring this work done! I explained to the grandson I totally agreed, but….

July 07, 2022 – Working Texture and Figures into Compositions I Like, Part 1 : Using a Full Figure Outline
Today I came closest to my full exercise schedule before our move to our new apartment, and yes, it wore me out, lol! But in a good way 😊 Still, it’s past 8:30 pm, and I almost didn’t get any painting in, but thankfully, did do a bit of in-lay texture dabbling ( not shown…

Today ( Monday ) is our 1st full day in our new apt, and even with all the sorting & choosing of what will go where ( and what really must be stored, chunked or donated ) I eked out enough time to finally upload a poster version of Easy Stroll, one of my favorite…

June 04, 2022 – New Poster Design for “Walking With the Stars” @FineArtAmerica
Tomorrow ( Saturday ) I’ll be taking copies of these, plus some other new posters, to Primal Gallery just west of us here in Austin & gotta go early ’cause of both the weekend traffic and near or above 100 degree temps, whew! 😊

June 02, 2022 – “Morning’s Promise” : Completed, After 2 Days of Finishing Touches
A different kind of textural experiment for me, as most the painting’s pigments were laid in with generous amounts of either transparent white acrylic, heavy matte gel acrylic or both. With sprinkles of marble dust here and there 😊

Painted in 2020 right at the 2 year mark ( A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020 ), this small panoramic watercolor has returned for another most viewed week; it’s previous most viewed week about a year ago! There must be an anniversary-thing involved in all this, lol!

May 20, 2022 – Will My New #Austin #Photography Poster, Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Join My Austin Pink Sunset Photo and Lou Neff Digital Art Poster in Sales?
The question itself, whether Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt will match or join my currently selling best prints, is a question more of hope and companionship for my image of a truly usually bright spot in Austin, the system of greenbelts preserving the water that makes living here even possible ❤️

May 16, 2022 – New Diptych : “Freedom” Almost Finished, Panels Need Signing ( front & back )
And what I’ve come across figuring out how to make prints of this that folks can work with, ie, close to or within standard size dimensions, was how to get a 22×28 image convert into – in 2 examples – an 8×10 or 12×18, and I came up with this as a starting prototype….
-
May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”
I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!

May 12, 2022 – Updated My #Twitter Header Image and Pinned Tweet

May 07, 2022 – New Diptych : Freedom, 1st Inlay
Continuing yesterday’s them of simplicity – some days simple being good 😊 – I decided to try a simplified polyptych, a two panel diptych with minimal over-all imagery, though of course open to extended nuancing of some or any portion of the the color fields.
