 I love this painting. This one did everything I wanted it to do. It retains the image but allows for the technique of throwing paint. It sets a mood, and integrates the sky with the tree. I am happy.

Sept 18th through Oct. 16th 2021


This Jacaranda received an update recently. It was a little too "tight". I walk a fine line of representation, albeit impressionism, and technique. Because the work is "thrown", it defeats the purpose of the technique, if it is too representational. My ego sometimes gets in the way and I want to show how well I can throw paint. However, that's only a part of the painting process. Ego aside, the work should honor the technique.

Donovan was a fine muse for me. This is only the third time I have integrated thrown paint on paper with a thrown and splashed canvas. I love the results. I peel the thrown paper, giving a contrast to the painted canvas and the painted paper. I will be attempting more of these.

Another Donovan. This painting had been around for awhile. I updated it with some brighter underbrush and topped with wild thrown white 'flowers'...blowing in the wind. I apologize for the quality of photo, time for a new camera. It you like it, the Adelman website has a better photo. www.adelmanfineart.com. Or better yet, go see it in person. This exhibit is always fun, there is so much wonderful talent and it's insightful to see the musical muses each artists gravitates to create their works.

Donovan was my chosen muse for this painting. Try for the Sun is a wonderful ballad about love and friendship between two young men. Love is so hard to find, when it comes along, in any form, grab hold with both arms.

Music as Muse Exhibit 2021

August 13th through October 17

I have been fortunate to have been represented by Adelman Fine Art for the past four years. The Music as Muse exhibit is always one of my favorite. This year all my paintings were created while listening to the music of Donovan. This particular painting had been a few incarnations, adding, subtracting, altering, thus the title, "First There is a Mountain...then there is no mountain, then there is..."
