Rebecca Molayem Gallery, solo exhibit

Fog in the Wild Mustard        thrown and splattered paint on canvas           2019
Rebecca Molayem Gallery, Los Angeles
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.

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.
