Color

While making the black and white paintings, I feel the need for color. So, I have been working on a smaller series of realistic drawings and paintings to feel the warmth of summer in the cool of Utah winter.

Buck

Buck, 2x4
This is another for the show. In May of this year, I have the privilege of showing my work in a show entitled, "It's not just Black and White" at the Bountiful/Davis Art Center. The other artists in the show are Merrily Kulmer and Reba Rauch. We are all working diligently since we have a very large gallery to fill. I figure with what I have done so far, I have one wall covered. It helps to have a 6x6 foot painting (camouflage, further down on this blog) already completed!

Since this post was written, 'Buck', was displayed at the opening of the Centerpoint Performing Arts Theatre in Centerville. (Invitation Only)

Garden Guardian

I know that it has been a while, though, I am back painting again! The Garden Guardian (3ft square, acrylic on canvas) is finished through many hours of black and white (though not half as many as the last deer painting.) Sorry that I didn't have more interim pictures for guessing; I am beginning another and will try to incorporate this.

Dynamic Pear

Here is "Dynamic Pear" completed in acrylics on canvas, 24in x 24in. It is oddly hard to photograph this piece to achieve the yellow intensity of the paints and appropriate contrasts. Though, at least you can get an idea of it.

Quick Drawings

Here are two additional doodles that I have finished recently. The Frog is an ink drawing about 2.5in x 2.5in, and the 'Runner' is pastel and approximately 10in x 12in.

Next Camouflage

Here is the beginning of the next black and white in the series. It is 3 foot square. I will include frequent updates on this one to see if anyone can guess what it is.

DONE!!

Whew! That was quite a project. It took 169 hours. Glad to have that completed! On to the next one...
