Abstracts for NextWave Art Salon

I'll be showing these five abstract paintings as a work in progress during the NextWave Art Salon, in Elgin, IL September 10-11. The theme is "working" and all artists were asked to create two pieces. I'm definitely working toward something new with these paintings. Some of the shapes are based on charcoal sketches I've been doing of nature and maps of aerial landscapes. I'm also dubbing these my "work stress" paintings since my day job has been stressful lately.

New Painting: River Running Over

River Running Over, acrylic on canvas, 30x40, 2010


This new painting bridges my abstracts series and aerial landscapes series. I created it specifically for my new show of abstracts at The Writers WorkSpace in Chicago.

I hung the show over the weekend - it features abstracts from 1999-2010. Hopefully the paintings will inspire some of the professional freelance writers, authors, and novelists that work out of this space.

The show runs through the end of the year (maybe beyond). Starting to think about plans for a fall event. I'll post some installation pics soon...

Some Recently Sold Paintings

I'm excited to announce a few recently sold paintings. I consider myself very lucky to be able sell art in this bad economy. A special thank you to my Chicago and Minnesota collectors - your generous support means a lot!

Three Water Tanks - works in progress

Three Water Tanks, works in progress, July 2010
Pink Water Tank, work in progress, July 2010Red Water Tank, work in progress, July 2010
Yellow Water Tank, work in progress, July 2010
These acrylic on canvas paintings are my start of a new series of water tanks based on photos I've taken mostly in Chicago and New York. I've also referenced some images found on the internet to sketch out some different compositions.

I'm trying to keep these looser - heavily textured but still in my style. I'm also working to expand my palate by introducing some new colors while developing a more immediate sketch-like feel.

While not totally complete, they were done quickly - in about 3 hours today. Probably have about another hour total to go until they're finished.
