My favorite painting from walking in the Fort River Conservation Trail last winter. While I mostly worked with photographs during this time I did do a few paintings on some photographs.

Blue Painting on Sky Walk Photograph

I came across this painting on a digital print from one of my sky walks the other day and decided to photograph it. I am thinking this is going to be the beginning of an extended series of painterly sky works.

Remembering the Incoming Rain

I found this painting on photograph that comes from a walk taken July of 2015 on the grounds of the Clack Art Institute. The walk was part of the exhibition SkyWalk. This did not get exhibited at the time.

Revisiting Two Painting Sets from 2013

Nine Rhythms Between Dark and Light. This is one of the early sky based sequences, graphite acrylic on paper, 9 x 12 inches each. 

 

Six Sky Rhythms. This is an of the early sky group, acrylic on canvas. Each painting is approximately 54 inches long.

 

Sky Gesture sequence from 2013

 
 

Sky Gesture Sequence 09.09.2013 acrylic on canvas panels, 5 x 42 inches. 

Originally exhibited in 2013 as part of Sky-Time Unbroken Continuities, Hope & Feathers Gallery, Amherst, Massachusetts. 

An early precursor to the twenty foot long painting, Warm Wind 11.109.2016. The painterly success of this piece is calling me to work similarly at a larger scale. Trust in process and incident will be necessary to pull them off.
