This is a new abstract for my 2016 "Nature Interpreted" show with photographer Jack Marshall at Bruegger's Bagels in Westlake Jan. 3 - Feb. 27. So swing by to view it and several new paintings, plus all the amazing photographs that inspired them all. FYI - 25% of exhibit sales will be donated to Eanes ISD Art Dept. Happy New Year!
I painted this from a photograph by photographer Bill Oakey for our
2014 Side by Side exhibition Sept 1 - 30 downtown at the Old Bakery and Emporium Gallery. (Reception Friday Sept 5, 5 - 7 pm!!) I painted a smaller
version that was an abstracted landscape with a bit more detail - see
"Lake Shore 8x10." As I created this larger version, I simplified the
image even further. Isn't that interesting? You'd think you'd put in
more detail but I keep trying to simplify everything down to basic
shapes. Enjoying this road to further simplification. And digging these
colors.
