thought I was done but made some further changes today...

Palette painting, a pillow for Pedro

Fool's Gold

today in the studio...

one painting started and possibly finished(palette painting)

the other images seen below are painted collages, likely to be digitally printed to canvas or paper in the near future, then mounted on canvas or board. (like the images on panel in the previous post)

today in the studio...

(finished)

new paintings, part of "ode to pedro" series

Pedro's paintings,

he looked sick, sicker than usual

what were some of the things he used to say?

what were his dreams?

always felt like he loved me, not in a good way

I think he said it once to me

here they are for eternity

he was a fisherman

(the paintings are slow to evolve, some have been posted previously, but have recently been adjusted while in the studio)

Sitting with dog, 18"x24" oil on canvas

shot from the side, painting has too dry....30"x36" oil on canvas

Palette painting, same as before, but "landscape" format, 30"x36" oil on canvas

a collage I am building on the wall, will be photographed and printed to canvas

Mapping and colour effecting how a person or landscape or anything is read. A made up soft science based loosely on phrenology but with a mind/body connection. Colour contaminates and Goethe's ideas are still present. However, colour is also playing a role as the "Shaper" which provides meaning in addition to paint and the image.
