May 17, 2022 – I Have a Lot of Happenings ( art & personal ) This Week, But Still Finding Moments To Start a New Painting : Morning’s Promise
It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️ And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊

April 05, 2022 – Experimenting With Polyptychs, Part 3 – Black Panel Diptychs
Though not able yet to paint ( time wise ) at the level I was working before ( chores, obligations, etc ) – I did squeak out a couple of new polyptychs, both diptych 2-panel pieces, each panel a 16×20 black canvas work.

March 30, 2022 – Experimenting With Polyptychs, Part 2 – Separating, or Joining Panels While Painting : How Does it Affect My Creativity? Detail View : Cut and UnCut Panel Edges
Whether I’ll end up preferring single full canvas works, or multi-panel polyptychs, I honestly don’t know right now. My guess is, I’m gonna like keeping on doing both 😊

March 29, 2022 – Experimenting With Polyptychs, Part 1 – Separating, or Joining Panels While Painting : How Does it Affect My Creativity?
I don’t have an answer for the title question yet, but I realized, if I wanted to explore that idea/question, I needed to start a blog post thread separate from my initiating blog post series when I 1st started exploring working with multiple canvas panels. I’m calling this new thread – Experimenting With Polyptychs, and…

March 28, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, Part 7 – “Migration”
Evidently there’s many mysteries still lurking, glimmering, teasing, from the long shadows of our senior years ❤️ And if you’re a young’un, then just go with the flow & don’t worry about it. You’ll slow down enough one day to begin to catch glimpses of the magic we’re truly all made of 💕

March 21, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 5 – Signing the Backs of Each of 4 Panels
A reader recently commented they looked forward to seeing how I’d sign this new work, there being 4 panels 😊 This part of my signing, and the post about it, is the easier for me to do 1st because this is how I’ve signed the back of each of the 4 polyptych pieces. Signing the…

I think I’ve finished my new painting – “Mountains, Clouds and Waves” – except for the placement(s) of my signature(s) and I’ll do that in probably the next (and final) post (I think, lol!) in this mini series. What I do want to speak to just a bit – because it now seems so obvious…

March 16, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 3 – Getting Some Answers
Still a bit more to go, but I’m clarifying to myself 😊 the direction and feeling I want this new more-complex-abstract-than-usual work to go. I’ve definitely chosen to rebalance the 4 panels in favor of the left 2 panels’ lighter balance of swooshes of colors.

March 15, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 2
You might be able to tell some of the changes so far on this 4 panel piece painting from the previous day’s shot of the same work from a distance in my still-emerging new set up for my art room, lol!

March 14, 2022 – Rearranging My “Art Room” at Home for a New Endeavor : Polyptychs, ie, Art on 2 or More Panels, Part 1
I seem to be on an unintended rush to catch up with an equally unintended rash of new paintings I’ve been creating since late last year, and decided, under pressure of not being able to move in the smaller 2nd bedroom in our apartment I call my “art room” 😊

March 11, 2022 – New 12×24 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Turquoise Impressionist Abstract 1
I love this color between blue and green, and am so glad I finally produced a fairly colorful ( considering the general monotone ) rendition with “lots” of density and textural variation.

February 27, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Blue with Gold Twilight – New 10×20 #Panoramic #Abstract #AcrylicPainting
I rushed getting Blue with Gold Twilight uploaded to Fine Art America because I’d also submitted it to Creative Art Society here in Austin for their online market. Considering I’d just painted it, I guess it was all a rush, lol! But I hadn’t painted it with the above online market in mind, it just…

February 25, 2022 – New 10×20 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Pink with Maroon Landscape and Bird
Second of two 10×20 inch acrylic color fields I’m listing on Creative Arts Society’s Spring Online Market ( begins March 01, 2022 ), Pink with Maroon Landscape joins my 1st selection, Blue with Gold Twilight. Both should be easier to ship if sold, and sold to a buyer outside the Austin area. Neither is offered…

February 23, 2022 – New 24×36 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #LyricalAbstract Upload @FineArtAmerica – Scenic Pink with Yellow
I look at this image, of a new 2×3 foot size color field, knowing how large it looks and feels, even at this relatively medium size, and realize maybe I need some size perspective shots, like with me holding or beside the painting.

I’m finding many benefits and even more enjoyment creating similar color field paintings of a single hue than I’d expected ❤️

February 15, 2022 – New 18×24 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Pink Vortex
I’ve expected to do variations of colors I liked and find them interesting how similar and yet also how different, when the paint is dry and the textures are set, they might end up to be.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! And, it’s also my wife’s birthday!! ♥️ So it’s kinda extra nice to post that Easy Stroll repeats as I most viewed on Fine Art America during the 1st week of February. The painting itself reminds me of both stories she’s told me of her year long stay in the jungles…

January 27, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Easy Stroll
A vertical abstract I absolutely had no idea would contain so many potential figures and landscape features! Positively must be my sub-conscious at work, esp considering I didn’t even become aware of the potential imagery til I observed the work from….

January 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Blue Impressionist Abstract 1 – New 12×24 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
It’s kinda neat how these impressionist abstract panoramas I’ve been working on conjure up so many varying images, or at least semi-suggested images, lol! I see waves and sky and beach, the horizon line shifting from lower 1/3 to upper 1/3 depending how I squint 😊 Working bottom to top, I can even see….

January 21, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Healthy Vines Happy Hearts
A relatively simple work with a slightly more complex arrangement of paint application than my usual. That’s a mouthful, lol! But pretty accurate in term of my process! 😊 First, I laid in a faint yellow base, a mix of watercolor and acrylic. Next I laid over a….

January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital. It’s a super playful acrylic I didn’t realize would be “so much” a landscape as it turned out, lol! All part of the “discovery” process inside each artist, often call the landscape inside, probably in…

January 08, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Fantasy Landscape
This is one of those works I didn’t “see” the landscape til I saw it from another room, lol! But I’d immediately liked the colors and sway of texture, and though it’s kinda rough is spots, it’s part of what makes it work I think. Usually I’ll hold a very new work like this for…

My singular goal is not to simply channel all my online and other painting sales through Fine Art America, though their direct messaging system from buyer to me, and back again, is very good. Rather it’s to ease into making my art listings into product categories, ie, acrylics, small works, etc, like I wrote about…

I’ve just recently begun letting myself acrylic-free-wheel experiment on what I 1st began experimenting with my watercolors on, little 6×6 inch gallery wrapped canvases, much like my recent post on another painting from this same new batch – The Smile in the Moon .

December 20, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, A Rare Tie! – Abstract Minimalism 2 and Yellow Impressionist Abstract 1
Not sure I remember a tie for most viewed image for a particular week on Fine Art America before, though there were many weeks in the early years I didn’t follow that then. It’s a good indicator I think of what’s catching folk’s eyes, even if no sales jump out from it at the time.…
