Hi Everyone!
Thank you for visiting my new website. I have been wanting to update my website for some time now and I finally have it to a point that I feel good about launching it. As many of you have followed me over the years you know that I have many different types of art that I have produced. I will place some of it at the end of this post. I have been working in oil for the past couple of years and throughout my life but seriously for the last couple of years. I am working in a style described as “tonalism”.
Tonalism was an artistic style that emerged in the 1880s when American artists began to paint landscape forms with an overall tone of colored atmosphere or mist. Between 1880 and 1915, dark, neutral hues such as gray, brown or blue, often dominated compositions by artists associated with the style.
I fell in love with this technique it allows me to explore the different seasons we live in. Hot, cold, rain, snow, snow is coming etc.,
I have mostly worked in oversized art through out my art life. I am working on canvas sized from 5×7 to 16×20. This is different for me too! Going form working large, mural size or 40×50″ to 8×10″ has been a challenge. Laughing at myself when I finish a painting and decide “that’s no good” because I painted something too large or not proportioned… well, I have it figured out now… took a while though…
Thanks for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy my art.
Below is some of my art over the years.
