City of Fontana
Los Jilgueros Preserve, 5.5x10ft. thrown and splattered acrylic on canvas 2019
City of Fontana Summer Showcase Artist 2019
City of Fontana
Just a couple of the larger works headed to the City of Fontana. I paint with the canvas on the floor, walking around as layer upon layer is thrown on the canvas. I feel, while painting, that I am almost able to enter my larger works. I hope, due to size, that the viewer feels that way as well. These paintings are off to Fontana for the summer, where I have the honor of being their Summer Showcase Artist. These are just a couple of the paintings over 8 feet, to see more, visit the Art Depot Gallery and City Hall of Fontana.

Storm nearing, was a wonderful storm that was tracking us, as we drove through Colorado. What a beautiful show of colors, across the plains and the sky...

California Coast allows us many opportunities to view dramatic ocean sunsets. I try to capture the feeling, the mood, when in the evening, the sky lights up,leaving patches of turqoise amidst flames of red and yellow (and if you're lucky...the green flash).

Los Jilgueros Preserve
Another work from the Los Jilgueros Preserve. Spring was wonderful to us, lots of flowers. Summer/Fall means heat, which will dry these and the sage grasses into tender for the wildfires. Hopefully, they will pass us by but in the meantime, I am still enjoying the spring harvest.

We had an abundance of wild mustard this year on the Hill. So much fun to walk through, photograph and paint.

A bit of a new style with 2019. Going back to a looser style, more conducive to the technique. If the painting looks painted on, rather than 'thrown', I feel I've defeated the purpose of the technique. I am not striving for the Annie Oakley of paint throwing, just trying to suggest an image, a feeling, an essence of a subject.

City of Fontana Summer Showcase Artist July1-Aug.30 2019
Adelman Fine Art, San Diego
This painting is a composition of spring wildflowers at the preserve. I don't strive for reality but the "feeling or essence" of the subject. In this case, a morning walk in the preserve with a light fog cloaking the fields and intermingling with the flora.

a crisper day in the preserve, shows some of the wild flora I attempted to capture in the paintings of the preserve.

Another view of the Los Jilgueros Preserve. Loved my spring walks through the preserve with my dogs and husband.

Loved the shades of green in this glen punctuated by the bright orange nasturtiums. I will try this painting again, the initial one is quite dark and lush but I may go for the yellow sping in the next.
City of Fontana, Summer Showcase Artist 2019
On the Hill will be exhibited at the Gallery Depot in the City of Fontana from July 1 through Aug.30 for the Summer Showcase
The City of Fontana is currently exhibiting 20 works of mine, many over 8 ft., two over 10ft.
On the Hill is in reference to our back yard and the county beyond. We live near an unincorporated area that boasts wildflowers, yellow mustard, rolling hills and of course, eucalyptus trees. These are three trees, I see from my studio window...every few years a hawk family will take up residence in the trees, build a huge nest and produce a couple of babies. Very exciting.
Rebecca Molayem Gallery, Los Angeles Coastal California Wetlands
represented by Rebecca Molayem Gallery, Los Angeles
Southern California wetlands are the lagoons, marshes, sloughs and estuaries that line the coast. It's where on any given day birds, water fowl and fish mingle with the kyakers and shore fisherman. It's the abundance of flora and fauna that make the wetlands some of the most productive and richest habitats in the world.

Wildflowers in the Mist
sold
Wildflowers in the Mist was a commissioned piece by one of my collectors. Her mother had recently passed away and left her a little money, she decided the best way to honor her mother was through one of my paintings. She honored me as well.
The painting is from a foggy walk near my home. I stopped to enjoy the spiritual feeling at a fog enshrouded vista, where only the wildflowers were visible. The rest of the earth trailing off behind a veil of fog. The fog tamped down any extraneous noise and all I could hear were a few birds while I gazed off into the softened vista.

Beverly Hills ArtShow 2019 booth #413
sold
This painting is an image, an essence, of my neighbor and friends massive Jacaranda tree that graced her terraced yard. She owned an organic farm and bed and breakfast on our hill and we use to sit on the porch that faced this tree, having coffee and breakfast. She tried to train me to know all the birds on our hill, I was a very sad failure at remembering all their names. But I will never forget the time she pointed out the waxwing pair in this magnificent tree.
There was not enough canvas to give this painting the true essence of magnitude, nor the shower of petals that reined. This one is going to the show. It is a really beautiful painting, that does indicate the technique of 'throwing' along with the experience of that wonderful yard (those are her prize white roses in the distance).
Beverly Hills ArtShow May 18th/19th Beverly Garden Park
Beverly Hills ArtShow May 18th/19th booth #413
The bloom was so spectacular this last spring, it was tempting to paint numerous times, and I did. This painting captures the poppies as well as the lupine and the snow capped mountains. Being a larger canvas, allowed me to give this painting more depth as the lupine recede into the distance. What appears fairly straightforward, isn't however. This painting probably has 10 or more layers. All the paintings have a number of layers but this was excessive as I nuanced the colors of the wildflowers to give depth and reality. My goal is to achieve the essence of the subject, not photo realism. At times, perfectionism can dwarf the objective of impressionism and the chaos of the technique, I try to retain.

After the Rain has had a couple different incarnations as wildflowers. The first was a bit too contrived. The more I look at the wildflowers, the more chaos I observe, that coalesces into the image of a consistency the mind makes up. After the Rain is a bit more wild, which also helps to insure that technique of throwing the paint ( sticks are used to give the streams of paint, brushes are used to splatter), is obvious in the outcome. After the Rain and it's incarnations have taken two years to arrive here.

solo exhibit 6/1/2019
Fog in the Wild Mustard was taking from a vista above my house. Normally there are flower fields, farm land and a small slice of ocean visible from this viewpoint. The morning of this painting, it was all fogged in, leaving just the precipice covered in wildflowers and the distance cloaked in soft imagination. The edge of the world.

Adelman Fine Art at Little Italy Art Walk April 27th and 28th
Adelman Fine Art has a booth, #627-620, at the Little Italy Art Walk in San Diego on April 27th and 28th
Please join us there!!

The wildflowers are in bloom in our part of southern California and I was busy trying to capture their beauty. What captivated me most, was the beauty of new growth against the backdrop of snowy mountains. Rebirth among the ending season.
I painted four of these, they were small, 12x24", therefore very difficult to throw accurately. Throwing consists of throwing streams of paint from the end of sticks and splashing paint using various size brushes and paint consistencies. I mix my own paints using 100% acrylic house paint and artist acrylic. My objective of all my paintings is to show the technique, in other words, it should appear as though the paint were thrown, not painted on. I want to render the essence of an experience, not a photo realistic painting.

Cherry 30x48" thrown and splattered paint on canvas 2019
Adleman Fine Art, San Diego
Anniversary Exhibit
Cherry has been many incarnations, all within the cherry blossom theme. The painting has been exhibited as red, white and pink cherry blossom trees. Each time it came back I worked on it. It wasn't finished. It just wasn't right in my eyes. It hadn't popped! On this last throw, it did exactly what I wanted. I love this painting. Deconstructing the image with splashes and throws, particles that reconstructed into a perceived image is one of my objectives. Another is to retain the technique of throwing in the image a third is to capture the experience of the subject, not the subject itself.
