I was able to get a good amount of work done this weekend.  I wanted to work more but ran out of time.  Here are some examples of progress;

White Stripes #1


White Stripes # 2, after a layer of pink on the white stripes and a layer of white on the blue strips.  More layers coming.









New striped work that is in progress










Work with 3 layers so far












I got extremely excited perusing through Reynolds Gallery's Face Book page.  I found  an artist named Robert Stuart who  had a show at Reynolds.  Below are examples of his work;


Blue Lines
Blue Bands
Red and Gold Bars























So I feel that I am on the right track with these stripe paintings.  I LOVE Robert Stuart's work.




I also built a 3x4' panel. I splurged and got the lumber from Siewer's instead of Lowe's.  It sure made building it easier.  Everything was cut correctly so it all lined up.  I didn't have to spend an hour sanding it to get the panel to fit the stretchers.

  1. Wow! I am looking forward to seeing these live. The subtle compositions allow your mind to wander in and out of focus but the decorative aspects always bring you back.

  2. I can see the similarity in Robert Stuart's Blue Lines piece and your piece third from the top.

  3. I look forward to seeing you create these on a larger surface - there may be gesture! Robert Stuarts paintings can be quite large.
