Altarpiece
This is a Modern Celebration of The Creative Power of The Universe.
A new painting on Seven stretched canvases…..a heptaptych!
When I lived in and travelled Europe in the 70’s I was always amazed by the Altarpieces. They are most impressive works of art and none more so than the famous Ghent Altarpiece. I had completely forgotten them till this new painting emerged.
It somehow just seems right to me to paint a modern version of these remarkable works of art.

The Library Gift Two
This is another painting inspired by a library gift to me. It is painted on found paper which was heavily gessoed on both sides before beginning. I was once told by a Head Conservationist of a Major Art Gallery that what protected artworks best over a long time was if they were prepared on both sides rather than just one…. even if they were “acid free .”

Embellished in Black White Pink
I have said in the past that my paintings have a life of their own. Here’s another where where I am just struggling to keep up. This was yesterday’s post but decided to embellish itself. Well here is the result.
Am I a painter or just an expression for my brush?

This is where a drawing on canvas ended up. The painting came quickly and seemed to paint itself.

Les dames du bain
This is still another version of my works inspired by Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.
Here the simple line drawing is enhanced with monochromatic rendering of form.
Unlike Cubism my painting urges you to explore the painting finding figures and form from the hints I have suggested. Like life it is a mystery so please enjoy making your discoveries.

Incursion
After much reworking this painting has arrived at its present state. It was originally titled Open And Closed but the new title seems to fit well.

New Drawing on Canvas
This is a new acrylic drawing on canvas which I have to decide if it is the beginning of a new painting. I do like the drawing which somebody said reminds them of Picasso.

New Work on Paper
This is a new work on heavy weight Hahnemuhle paper. The intention was to create a new painting but as I reflect upon it at this point of time it may be finished…. as a charcoal drawing.
