Do you have intrusive thoughts? Have you been where you’re going?

I really wanted to see this depiction of an isolated cloud against a layered, tonal foundation finished off with a wash of pyrrole red. The painting is an attempt to convey a feeling, or a mood.

Anomaly, !4”x11”, 2025

This painting was an exercise in constraints. I limited myself to oil paintsticks and oil pastels. It feels different from its acrylic counterpart, but I think this is all right.

I’m proud of this painting because I took a lot of chances. I tried some things that didn’t work, but I didn’t give up on the piece. And I’m glad I didn’t because it came together. Thanks to my art group for telling me when it was done.

The first image below was taken with outdoor lighting. The second was taken with indoor lighting.

There are things going on in space as I write this. It seems I can’t really stop thinking about that. I hope you enjoy my new painting, Escape Room.

New work creating a path for 2025. Been working on canvas. Would like to do some large loose canvas pieces. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything bigger than 36”x36”.

Still working on canvas right now. I am pleased with how this turned out. I hope you like it, too.

Alone Now Is the Same as Alone Then is my first big effort in 2025. Space continues to be a lens through which I see so many universal themes.
