I have only completed two paintings in the past three weeks. I just don't seem to have as much time to paint as I used to in Tucson when I could do two or three paintings a week. We are still doing more home remodeling which takes up a lot of our time.
The first painting is another in my Patchwork series. This is "Study in Patchwork #5 (Shades of Grey)". I decided to try something different with this one. I only used black and white paint which I mixed in various shaded of grey. When you look at the photo of the painting it looks like it was shot as a black and white photo but this is how it looks in real life. It is a real departure from my usual style of using lots of color in my work.
The other painting is one of my geometric floral paintings. I call this one "Ornamental Arrangement". It is monochromatic using a limited color pallet but not as stark as the black and white used in the one above.
I want to mention that I recently sold "Rooster Reveille"which was hanging at LA's Cafe. In this painting I used a whole rainbow of colors. I am happy it has a new home.
Since I last posted, along with doing the two paintings , I drew the pattern for a large stained glass window which will be Roger's next project. He will start it after he finishes the house project that we are working on currently which is fixing up the stairway to our art studios. We are doing the stairs in hardwood and the landings in tile along with painting the walls and doing a half wall in hardwood. We are also building a book shelf for another wall. It is a fairly wide stairway so we are utilizing the space to make it more useful. I'll post pictures when it is done.
