Revisiting a sense of freedom

I've just completed a diptych (other one is currently drying), as part of a new series (being created simultaneously with the ongoing "Tendrils" series).

I'm loving my Tendrils; they are teaching me a good deal about color relationships, color mixing, and creating mood and atmosphere through color. BUT they require a great deal of precision and I find I'm missing the freedom of expression that comes from having a larger expanse of canvas to simply draw over (albeit "drawing" with paint coming from a squeeze bottle). So I've decided to revisit my earlier "Pool" series, this time in tones of red, and this is the beginning.

This one is titled "Cascade, Crimson 1" ; it is acrylic on canvas, 40" H x 30" W.

My painting in new online exhibit

How cool! Elizabeth Sheppell included my painting "Pulse 4" (below) in her new online exhibit titled "Whole Lotta PINK." Check out the show, here!

Coming together

A glimpse of my "dining room" -- actually used as a viewing and photography room -- showing the lineup of my latest Tendrils series paintings. Each one is 40 inches square. This shot also gives a peek at one of the 20-inch-squares in the series. They're starting to come together as a group!
