I’m working on a series of small (5″X7″) acrylic paintings in preparation for a Landscapes show with two other painters in early October.
I’m thinking I’ll call this series “Vista”. All are studies in color, texture, and design, and all are products of my mind, not actual places.
But the intent is to bring a specific place, or time, to the mind of the viewer of the painting.

I think that this one might be done…at least I reached the stage of knowing which way is up, signing, and titling it. But I am still leaving myself the option of making changes. It is propped up against the wall so that I can see it every day and decide what to do (or not do).
Some of the preliminary steps for this piece are shown on my 6/24 post Evolution #2.
The beginning of a new ongoing project….inspired by George Morrison, one of my favorite artists,
Another largish (36″X36″) painting begun. The earlier Evolution of a Painting sequence was my first time to do that type of set-by-step documentation of a piece, and I found it to be fun and quite helpful, so here begins another. What seems to be happening here is one of those “finding order” processes. The first step was to create a basically chaotic surface on which to work, find or create some images, then find or create some order within that chaos. It is still early in the process, so I haven’t settled on anything as yet, just enjoying the excitement of the exploration.
