NEW PAINTING Winged

 

Winged, 15"x30" original painting, acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, image painted around the sides so no need to frame, $1300 plus s&h to the first asking nicely.  Link to purchase is below. Please reach out with any questions.

I love to work in layers. I start my paintings with a giant brush, gradually working from large marks to tighter ones. Recently I've begun asking myself in what other ways can I embrace the idea of "layered". The painting Winged is one of the results.

LAYER1:  A small fox kit sits on a nuanced, creamy ground, in profile. She is watching something rather attentively, but it is outside the picture frame, so the viewer has to guess at what has grabbed her attention.
LAYER 2:  She is partially obscured by a layer of butterfly specimens, the smallest and most delicate seated at the top of the winged totem.
LAYER 3:  The presence of the butterflies changes the fox's ground to billowy clouds, and, as if to accent that, they travel from mostly dark in value to barely there as they ascend upwards.
LAYER 4:  Conversely, the kit's feet, where they would connect with the earth, are soft edged, almost as if to deny she is resting on anything solid.
LAYER 5:  Fox represents cunning and intelligence, the butterfly metamorphosis - both providing doses of what could manifest change and revolution in the world.

This painting can be viewed up close, in a room setting, and even purchased on my website.  And because you are a First Dibber, this is your chance to make Winged yours before anyone else.

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...

Grindstone

"Grindstone", 16" x 20" acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting Grindstone, just a few strides away from winning The Kentucky Derby in 1996. Read more about this painting's story below - it's a good one! And inquiries may come directly  to me .  Paying it Forward Shortly after getting The Derby Gig, which neatly dovetailed my childhood passion for horse racing with my grown up obsession with painting, I started formulating a plan to give back to the universe. As it played out, The Kentucky Derby Museum got involved, and it was decided I would donate a piece to them, something they could use as a fundraising tool to further their education efforts.  "Would I be interested in painting Grindstone, the winner of the 1996 Derby?" they asked. But of course! Little did I know the background story, though. Every year the Museum asks the owners of the Kentucky Derby winner to donate one breeding to the Museum when th...

Golden Open Acrylics

I get all sorts of process oriented questions. Most recently I've been getting asked a lot about my paints and palette, which made me realize what a nice blog topic this would make! I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Premier palette box . This is comprised of a box (think Tupperware) with a sponge liner and a slice of palette paper that work together to keep my paints wet. This setup allows me to work with the same palette for about a full week, having the box open for multiple hours every day. You can see what the palette looks like at the beginning of a new session above - below the exact same palette after this week's work. For the last 25 years I have used Golden brand acrylics, mediums, and varnish. I love the overall quality of these paints and the fact that, when I have a question, their customer service department is made up of artists who actually use the products. Until last year, I used their Heavy Body paints exclusively. They have a buttery consistency, a little loose...
