Moving on

So nice to see large Event Horizons canvases up on white walls with good lighting at State of the Art. Wonderful opening, thoughtful review of show by Arthur Whitman http://thethinkingi.blogspot.com/2009/11/mink.html. I don't agree with his take on the large 'You Can't Win" canvases; for me the carving out of negative space was an integral part of the process, not a mistake. But he was right about the "lightness" of Hubble's Bubbles. Overall, it's rare to have thoughtful and comprehensive "readers", and a review becomes like a conversation.

It's funny how once an approach has run its course, new directions open up. Current work much flatter, more free, while maintaining some of the pouring approaches of before. I don't think I could ever be like those painters who find one style that's commercially successful and stick with it for the rest of their lives; experimentation and growth is what makes this fun.

Adding resin-magic!

I’ve been having a great time experimenting with resin coatings for my ink and acrylic work. I started with birch boards as a base, which is recommended, but I’ve had success with both board and tightly stretched canvas. What I love is the way it makes colors pop! It certainly adds to the production of a piece in terms of time and technique, but it’s worth it. I use ArtResin, which is odorless and easy to mix up, though you DO have to heed the directions and wear shoes and gloves (sigh). I use a heat gun rather than a gas torch to run over the surface to remove bubbles, and seems to work. I’ve also had bad experiences using blue painter’s  tape on the sides, to keep small droplets from forming and hardening. Instead I go over the drips with gloved hands to get rid of them, then sand off the dried remainder with a circular sander. I still alternate between work with resin and paintings on raw canvas- tension between warmth that draws you in and a cool barrier through whic...

Crazy for color

Red has always been one of my favorite colors, and I've been going to town lately. One is under resin which really makes it pop, but the completely inked painting also makes a statement. Trying to push winter away,  I guess.

Why this- why now?

At a recent opening of my show in Rochester, one relatively sophisticated viewer pointed out that some of the paintings looked like they were by different people. The organic, textured, flowing, hot colored abstract landscape next to three muted, resin coated circles and dots bothered him.  Tenerife.  36x72   Specimens 30x30 Not me, though. Having come to painting late, I insisted on spending a few years going through many stages of representational rendering- flowers, fish, fruit, figures- and that’s just the ‘f’s- to prove to myself that I could. When I decided I had captured clouds and sunrises and the sea, I got rid of the horizon line- and I was painting abstractly, which had been my goal all along. Rather than experiment in style pastiche or stages I think I paint in paragraphs. A new idea emerges, it gets done again, different iterations, then I revisit what I had thought was finished. When this essay is finished, I move on. Mark Rothko ...
