I don't want people to copy Matisse or Picasso, although it is entirely proper to admit their influence. I don't make paintings like theirs. I make paintings like mine.
Non-Objective Expressionist
In 2018 I started series of small works on watercolor paper. These are quickly executed in an expressionist manner. These are mixed media, watercolor, ink, graphite, gesso and colored pencil.
The original works are available for sale with archival mat and mount, black wood frame and glazed with Acrylite. They are also available unframed as limited edition prints, each printed on 100% cotton Velvet paper with archival inks. The edition size of each is 25.
In 2022 I began a series of paintings on canvas that incorporate some of the design elements, marks and gestures found on the works on paper.
Some of the newer works include representational elements. These paintings are scaled up in size with the smallest being 30" by 40".
