New Art on My Website

I just put six new paintings on my art website. I finished them a couple of weeks ago, but it always takes a while before I get around to scanning or photogaphing them, sizing them in photoshop, and finally using Dreamweaver to insert them into my web pages. 

I put every new painting in three places on my website: (1) in my gallery of new paintings, (2) in a catalog of square, horizontal, or vertical paintings, and (3) in my listing of all unsold original paintings.  I try to make it as easy as possible for people to find what they are looking for. 

Here are two of the new paintings:

  Modern Art 35, 24" x 24" acrylic on canvas.

  Modern Art 39, 24" x 24" acrylic on canvas.

Reconstructing the Self

Hanging Americana Winery & Cafe Exhibit Today

I'll be hanging an exhibit of new as well as older paintings at the Americana Winery and Cafe today.  The cafe has smaller spaces for hanging, so I'll be showing paintings that are 16" x 20" and 20" x 20" in that space.  Here are a couple:

  Modern Art Fifteen, 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas.

  Modern Art Thirty-Seven, 20" x 20" acrylic on canvas.

I'm also hanging some much larger pieces in the winery tasting room, where the ceilings are high and there is plenty of wall space.  Several of these paintings have deep reds, which look better in real life than they show in a photograph:

  The Knife Cuts, The Petal Falls, 48" x 48" acrylic on canvas.

  Cliff Dwelling Two, 48" x 48" acrylic on canvas.

My daughter will be helping with the hanging, so it should go smoothly.  I'm bringing my tool box, measuring tape, and lots of extras that might be needed, just in case.

Next time I'll post photos of the exhibit hanging.

Modern Painting: Blue Skies Green Fields

This painting was different for me, in that it is fairly simple.  The background patches of color show through clearly, rough vertical and horizontal lines divide the canvas into a grid, with sections painted in translucent washes of pale colors. Four squares are painted in solid colors:  brilliant blue, permanent green light, cadmium red light, and cadmium yellow light.
