Rock & Roll Over

Who remembers this album?

this is a painting I did, it's 25x25 I think it's the best album cover ever. I'm thinking of doing a series of iconic album covers. We'll see though, it's a lot of work, I did this one for my first son who is 40, when he was 2 he loved Kiss & knew every word of every one of their songs.

decisions

latest acrylic small paintings, I've decided my favorite size is 8x8 and favorite surface is stretched linen. Acrylic with dammar varnish is the fave.

blank canvas

these are little stretched linen 8x8 canvases, I've decided my favorite surface is smooth linen.
I rub some color on them before I sketch something than paint. Also I have a huge roll of linen so I have tons of it.  Paintings coming up

Street Tango

I've been working on some large pieces lately so haven't been posting small paintings on DPW.
Kind of miss it, so easy to pack & ship small. This painting is sold and I will be getting it ready to ship over the weekend. It is an acrylic on linen, gallery wrap 36x52

oils or acrylics

I keep going back & forth, oils, acrylics. I have been painting with oils since I was  a kid & exclusively until several years ago when I started painting in my home. I love acrylics because they are fast, non toxic, they cost less, clean up with soap & water, you can totally finish a painting in one sitting, they're great. The oils are what I know, they're like a part of me and when I work in acrylics I start missing the oils. They have a luminosity that acrylics don't, they have a buttery texture that just doesn't translate through acrylics.  These 2 6x6 paintings are from the same photo of Exumas. I changed the people a little, but it's the same picture. The top one is acrylic, the bottom is oil.

Abacos

The lighthouse in Hopetown, Abacos. I spent a lot of time there with my then boyfriend on his sailboat. We anchored out in front of this beautiful scene many times.

a scene from one of our many explorations of these beautiful islands

Bleu Sonata

This is the last abstract small painting for a while, I'm starting a series of paintings of the Bahamas from photo's I took while I spent a lot of time there several years ago, they may end up absracty, who knows.
