St. Raphael

St Raphael, this is 50x20x.8 He's one of my favorite angels, I love the story of Tobit. His feast day is Sept. 29
This painting has some bling in it, not too much, keeping it subtle but he will sparkle at you as you walk by. gold and silver leaf, some glitter and diamond dust. I was inspired by an art exhibit I went to recently of artist that use sparkly things in their works. Some were very blingy and some more subtle, like you didn't notice til you were right in front of the painting.

Chorus Angelorum

I was struggling with my last painting, which rarely happens but when it does, it tells me my style is about to morph.  Here is the first painting, the first of my new series of large abstracts. I've been wanting to paint larger but didn't want to store them, and to ship is very expensive. So, I've decided to offer them not stretched, the buyer would have to have it stretched. For instance, the difference in shipping price to San Fran, stretched $900, rolled in a tube $75

This is 'Chorus Angelorum', 62x53, the stretched size would be 56x46x1.5
Oils, gold & silver leaf on textured canvas

The Jam Session

This is my latest, 'The Jam Session' 34x56x1.5 oil on canvas, I labored over it a little but. Every once in a while I get stuck on a composition and have to stop, step back, regroup then work on it til I like it.
I hate when that happens, but I think it happens when your style starts to morph a little.
Anyway, I do like it now, I made a smaller version while I was painting this one.
