One never knows when a creative spurt will come and where it will take one. I woke up one morning and thought I’d do some abstracts. Before long I was adding a third dimension, which brought me into a whole new category: Mixed Media!<\/p>\n

\"Able-to-Dialogue-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Able-to-Dialogue-vert-125\"<\/a><\/h6>\n
Able to Dialogue<\/em>, mixed media, 30×40<\/a><\/h6>\n

As I sometimes do when I’m looking for ideas, I wander over to Anne’s side of the studio. As a master artist, but often too busy to get to it, she has a plethora of “unfinished” work. Often as not that’s my pile for abstract inspiration. She doesn’t mind (and as I always say, if I sell it, I’ll give her half!). The idea to add torn pieces of corrugated and crumpled-up newspaper came as just another idea for uniqueness.<\/p>\n

Those parts go down first, with a thought to design, and held in place by gooey acrylic medium. Then the paint is applied, all in acrylic.\u00a0In the case of this one, Able to Dialogue<\/em>, I painted it as a vertical, as shown at left. But afterward I liked it turned. Such is often the case with abstracts; they can be hung either way.<\/p>\n

\"Continued-Concepts-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Continued Concepts,<\/em> mixed media, 24×24<\/a><\/h6>\n

Continued Concepts<\/em> (I think I stole the titles from Anne as well) is fitting as I did all these in the same week’s creative burst. As with all of these, click on the picture for pricing, and again on that<\/em> picture for a larger view.<\/p>\n

\"Continued-Concepts-with-Red-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Continued Concepts with Red,<\/em> mixed media, 24×24.<\/a><\/h6>\n

I created the two above at the same time, something I sometimes do when the theme is so unified. Someone can then get them both and hang them together, or nearby, or the set can be broken up and each still holds its own. These two are now at Marso Home Collections in San Diego.<\/p>\n

\"Near-the-Pond-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Near the Pond<\/em>, mixed media, 24×24.<\/a><\/h6>\n

Sometimes, during the painting, something presents itself that wasn’t originally intended. Such was the case with the figure that, Eve-like, just “appeared.”<\/p>\n

\"Near-the-Wind-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Near the Wind,<\/em>\u00a0mixed media, 24×24.<\/a><\/h6>\n

Once I discovered the figure in the first, I looked for another in the second, and sure enough; there were just enough hints to bring her out . . . a little way, but not too much. The hints at “cement texture” come from another of the wide variety of acrylic mediums. <\/span><\/p>\n

These two pieces are now hanging in Kevin Barry Fine Art in San Francisco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
