Abstract Mauve 12" x 36"

My 2 new abstracts in situ. I saw this type of setup, black and white cabinets and walls, done by someone else and I loved it. Even though many of my paintings have lots of colour, I'm always a sucker for black and white.

 

Sooo...It's been a while.  Two years actually.  But, I'm back, so let's see what happens. 
I've tried to take all painting pressures off - the real ones, but mostly the ones in my busy head.
I love this 30"x30" painting of yellow tulips.  I used a huge brush and tried to keep most of the brushstrokes visible.  It looks like a simple painting, but those big brush strokes make it interesting.  Very fresh and contemporary I think.
The background appears black in the photo, but it's really a very, very dark blue - classy!

New Bubble Tree Painting - 'In No Hurry'

Fresh off the pallet.  This Bubble Tree 'In No Hurry' exudes serenity and peace.  Greens and blues mix harmoniously with a small amount of silver leaf feathering off into the background.

This has a 1" linen liner and then a 2 1/2 inch shiny black frame.  It matches the shiny black boots.

A Very Manly, Rugged Painting

'Chinook Arch'
Acrylic on unstretched canvas
42x19
I had a problem.  How could I send a rather large painting to my son who is going to school far away?  He has repeatedly requested a large painting to cover his very white, bare walls.  But sending a large painting thru the mail and then having to arrange for it's storage over summer and shipment back home was not reasonable.  (Yes, occasionally I can be reasonable.)
So I created a portable, very manly, rugged painting.  It's painted on gessoed unstretched canvas with brass grommets so it can be hung off nails or hidden hooks.  It's earthy and organic.  Think of painting on a ship's sail.  It will fit nicely into a suitcase after being rolled over a large cylinder.  It will crack and wrinkle and maybe fray and all of that should add nicely to the outdoor rugged feel of the painted landscape.
Definition of Chinook Arch- the cloud formation that develops during a warm, dry wind that blows at intervals down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
