Make a Wish        48x30"              thrown and splattered paint on canvas       2024   

Beverly Hills ArtShow   May 18th&19   

Make a Wish is part of the portal series, depicting deep, multi starred,  night skies. This one has the Milky Way as well.  The dandelions and grass are thrown and splattered paint (as is the sky), the stalks are made using a stick to 'throw' a stream of paint across the canvas, difficult to control the outcome, but that is part of the point of this style. The small dandelions are splattered using a small brush and walking in circles around the painting.

Beverly Hills ArtShow 2024

This photo is a bit oversaturated. The painting is intense in its color combinations but not quite so as this photo would suggest. It does however, seem to exhibit the streams of paint from the splashes a bit better than most 2d photos can do, so I left it in. In person. you can see these subtleties of splash versus throw, in a photograph, it's not particularly captured. 

The green flash is a phenomenon sometimes witnessed as the sunsets just beneath the ocean's horizon.

Under the Red Moon       48x30"        thrown and splattered paint on canvas           2024

Beverly Hills ArtShow      May 18th&19th

Under the Red Moon, was one of those paintings that did not want to be what I wanted. It fought me every step of the way, until it was almost in the throw away pile. This was its last chance of becoming a thrown and splattered painting. And like only one other, it did it, it pulled out at the last minute, and though it is not in the least what it started out as, it became what it wanted to be. This painting directed me, much more than I ever directed it.

 Dark Road   Borders of Chaos      36x24"    thrown and splattered paint on canvas     2022

Beverly Hills ArtShow.      May 18th&19th

Dark Road is from the Borders of Chaos series. The chaos being the thrown and splattered paint that is somewhat corralled in this series by the blocking off of the painting, during throws. It gives the work a powerful, bursting quality, ready to spill forth the chaos made by  the tiny but multitudinous splashes of paint.
