Summer Tree

Since summer is winding down, I needed to paint my favorite tree.  I have come to know this tree and it's habits in each season. This is an 8 x 10 oil on glass painting.

Gold

This is another oil on glass.  I'm having lots of fun seeing the outcome.  This reverse painting process really plays tricks on your brain!

Summer in the Hudson Valley

Here is another Reverse Glass Painting.  I am fascinated by this process.  I see similarities between painting on glass and working with encaustics.

The Aura

Here is another mixed media painting.  I add and subtract layers creating texture.  The paint is poured which causes the merging of colors.

Clarity

This is a mixed media abstract painting.  I usually put one day aside just to work on these types of paintings.  I do not plan the outcome, often I feel as though I am being guided in the process.

Rejuvinating Still Life

Lately I have been experimenting with reverse glass painting.  This is a still life painted in oil.  I have discovered that the foreground must be painted first!

The Bake Sale

This painting was created during the "3rd Annual Artists on Historic Huguenot Street", an all day plein air event in New Paltz.  Over 20 Hudson Valley artists participated.  We had a great time and a beautiful day!
