Intentional Meeting

 

 

                                                                Intentional Meeting (2026, canvas, 16" x 20")

 

My friend said the following about this painting when I expressed feelings of ambivalence about it (or perhaps it was a certain reservation towards it).

 

She said "I love this painting because it is vibrant and alive without feeling overly studied. I love how the curve of the sky leads the eye into the sweep of the land and the curve of the land in turn leads the eye upwards to the sky.

I also like the wider bands of the sky and how they are more clearly defined - not mixed with bands of other colours

Solidly their own colour- complementary and but not blurred into each other

The golden yellow colour also makes me think of hay fields in summer

The colours and movement pops, is eye catching and not at all flat..."

 

At that, I saw it in a new light and rejoiced that such a generous response came my way. 

Beachside

And that is where the summer goes! Seemingly endless days of sun, sand, and surf.

Archetype or Prototype?

 

 Every now and again I take up graphite. There is something so satisfying about pencil on paper. HB2,

HB4, HB5. HB6, and HB8. Recently I have been splurging on filling up small sketchbooks that are half done or 3/4 done with these small faces. 

There is something so compelling about a face -- each so unique, each with its own expressions and features. The hard part is capturing them with any kind of animation.

    

 

                                

Southshore Currents

 It suggests bad weather, turbulence. The sky is ominous, threatening. The sea is building up to a rough ride. Is it arriving or departing?

Coastal Headlands

 Flanked by water on three sides it speaks of erosion and an ever changing shoreline.

The Last Light of the Day

 The last light of the day, so hard to catch -- you cannot paint pure light.
