"Gala One" on Display in the Annual Cinco Banderas Collection Exhibition
Just one year ago I had the honor of my work being added to the Cinco Banderas Permanent Collection, when the Cinco Banderas Foundation purchased my painting Gala One. The collection is now on display in their annual exhibition, through to October 18, 2013, at Artel Gallery.
Origin
"Origin" is currently in the “All Things Holy” exhibition at Artel Gallery, Pensacola, FL.This piece grew out of my digital spiral studies from last October. I'm still working out the best way to photograph my work. Most of them consist of multiple layers of colored glazes, which don't seem to translate satisfactorily in to a digital format. I think an overcast, outdoor photo shoot might produce better results than studio lighting.

Gesture Drawing: Figure 1
In our college life-drawing class we'd begin with quick gestures before getting in to the 30 or 60 minute poses. This is one of those gestures.
Spiegel im Spiegel
Seumas McNally (1979 to 2000)I knew Seumas as a sweet, giggly and brilliant child. He grew into his good nature and genius until, tragically, cancer stole him from us just after his 21st birthday, in 2000.

Work In ProgressI seem to be allergic to detail--I refuse to think I'm incompetent--when I hold a paintbrush. Give me a digital stylus or pen and ink and I happily enter the dexterous realm of illustration. But unless the canvas is large enough for rendering detail with a big fat brush my fingers fumble unforgivably. So as much as I'd love this image to be finished, it's still a WIP. Sigh.
Ghost
Groans emanate from my studio when foreign particulate--dust, cat hair(!), and such--gets in my brush or on my canvas. Depending on how visually fresh or immediate the stroke is dictates the tone of the groan. The higher the impact of retrieval--a greater likelihood of ruining something wonderful--the lower the pitch.

Although I’ve named these paintings “Faux-Rothko . . .,” these actually are not Rothko imitations. I’ve obviously used a formal resemblance, but that’s where it ends.
