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).

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.
