gustav

"gustav's daydream"
acrylic paint on woodblock
18.5 cm x 8 cm x 1 cm
7.25 in x 3 in x .75 in

the art of gustav klimt has often inspired my work. i have always been captivated by his manipulation of the human figure and his desire to design with basic shapes on canvas. interested in seeing more?

new piece!

"mini paisley"
5cm x 7cm 2in x 2.5in
acrylic on woodblock

a bunch of these were made because i saved the scraps of a project on studio furniture that i constructed recently. i have a whole box of future mini paintings. can't wait!

carolyn brady

this evening while i worked in my studio an old art flier from 1997 that i've enjoyed so much caught my eye again. the piece that captivates me is a watercolor by carolyn brady titled, "jekll & lutyens at hestercombe/somerset, 1996-97". the image i speak of is a realistic depiction of a black iron metal gate/door opening to reveal rough tiled floors leading to a bean trellis stretching towards beautiful natural light. simply superb. the only information available on carolyn brady was from the nancy hoffman gallery's website. in the meantime enjoy this eye warming piece titled, "red raspberry hydrangea/new york, 2001".
