Lost Horizons

Lost Horizons is my latest deep-dive into surface tension. Like Heaven and Earth this painting involves differing  elevation planes with a twist. Key shapes in the composition have been relieved in perspective. My objective is building a topographical element.

I have always been interested in "urban canyons," this painting will capture that absorption in a new way I hope to include in future works.

Evolving art: the best kind! If you are in the Washington, DC metro area, and want to see artwork that is truly innovative, please come by Gallery57! Chances are better than not, I will be sitting; if not any of the other three artists, Matt Riegner, Richard McMurry or Cheryl Wilson will be able to answer any questions about my work as I can about theirs.

The Heights

Finally finished The Heights March 31st which sold three days later at Gallery57 in Mosaic District.

Quite pleased with the finished product. I made jokes about it being an homage to David Hockney but  that was largely an after thought since the twelve 7cm x 7cm canvases resembled Polaroids from a distance if you squint a lot.

Kidding aside, the overall effect gives an impression of a mult-paned window. The effect is captivating.  I might try this again at some point, but for the time being, I am still interested in elevating the surface tension aspect captured in Heaven and Earth in a new work I think I will call Lost Horizons. 

Thanks to Mosaic and Emerging Artists Initiative, artists (like me) have a venue that brings the public to the artist without hoopla.  Long overdue.
