March @ Quorum Gallery

I have been selected to join the Quorum Gallery in Laguna Beach on PCH North.  I am very excited to join this group of artists and look forward to having a venue to showcase my art.  This piece is called Reflections 24x36 inches oil on canvas

These pieces represent my most current oil paintings.  They represent a change in application for me.  It is difficult to appreciate the thickness of the paint and the texture.  This is Heisler Sunset which was really the piece that changed everything for me.

In the Weeds measures 30 x 30 inches

Misty Morning in Irvine Park is very subtle in it's pallet but I really like the dynamic brush strokes within the painting.

This painting was important in my development of my new technique.  In this painting I built the values from the lightest to the darkest.  I gently laid down the blue paint with thick paint and gentle stokes letting the brush bristles describe the contours of the San Gabriel Mountains.  This painting measures 6x6 inches.

 Into the Canyon measures 8x8 inches.

Here are my paintings grouped on the wall at the Quorum Gallery.

I look forward to changing up my paintings frequently.  In April I will present some of my recent plein air efforts.
