Land, Sky, Water Series

"Sunset Silence"

6" x 8" encaustic on panel

This is the latest in a series of encaustic paintings I call Land/Sky/Water; the six paintings that make up the series are currently on exhibit at the Hygienic Art Gallery, part of the art = gift show.  (We went to the opening tonight and saw some excellent paintings, etchings, prints and photographs, plus work by Williams High School students in the basement gallery.) All works in the series are available for sale; the show runs until December 23rd.

I posted another painting from the series previously here on the blog, and I'll be posting photos of the others in the coming days.

New Haven Water Reflections

14" x 11"  oil on board

I could not resist painting this scene in the New Haven, CT harbor.   The geometric shapes of shadow and light with their contrast to the soft fluid water were definitely a must to paint.

Limitless Horizon

6" x 6" oil on panel

After painting this ocean scene of haze, mist and still water I found my painting finished in a moment of wiping out the upper part.  A momentary flick of the wrist, a swipe with an undignified rag and the deed was done, but it was exactly what this work needed.  The creation of a work of art is so mundane in the processes and yet it continues to be so mysterious in the results.
