"Ten Pounds Of Aftermath"

This is my piece for the "Ten Pound Show" put on by the Fort Gallery Artists Collective. I had a really hard time settling on an idea and this came together at the last minute, in fact it was still wet when it went up on the wall! I really wanted to stick to or at least incorporate my style while using ten pounds of a material. It was so much fun slapping all this paint on here! The piece measures 36x36" and was painted with acrylic, liquid leaf and resin onto wood, and is very heavy! The resin covers parts of the paint on the palette and a spill from the jar, giving it a wet look. While debating what to do for this show I remembered something from studying Shakespeare "A play within a play"... And thus came the painting within a painting showing some of the aftermath and mess that I have to clean up when I've finished a painting :)

"Whispers Of Hope" by Denise Cunningham
Transcending Abuse, Cancer and Divorce To Embrace Peace. Whispers of Hope is the inspirational story of one woman who overcame generational patterns of abuse, addiction, suicide, and cancer. The turning point in her life happened when, despite her intent to not repeat the past, she caught herself screaming at her three-year-old daughter. Something made her stop long enough to look into her daughter’s eyes and see fear. At that moment Denise made a conscious choice to do something different. She told herself, “The abuse stops here.”

New Painting - In Progress

Detail of a new painting in progress. I love trumpeter swans. When I was a kid there was a field by our house that was home of a giant flock of trumpeter swans on their migration rout. Sometimes that field would be COVERED with swans, hundreds and hundreds of them. An image I can never forget, absolutely breath taking. This is a sneak peak for my upcoming show "The Five Seasons", what better way to show a season than by highlighting beautiful creatures that migrate right past our windows.
