The opening of "Color, Form" had a great turnout!! Supersonic Electronic gave us a nice feature, you can check it out here. 

The show is on view till December 31, 2013. 

If you missed the opening we are having an artist meet & greet this Wednesday, December 18th, 6pm-8pm at the gallery. All the artists will be in attendance. 

I previewed my newest series "animal" at the exhibit. Here are some of the new paintings.

black on black

For some reason, Blogger is distorting the colors of the pics I post, over saturating them in particular, and it's not making me happy....

So for better image accuracy :) ....

concept

A concept for my next painting as well as the beginning of that painting :)

This is the first time I have used this lilac color in a painting. I am happy with the various pinks and blues I used in it. I also think this is the most "fully & naturally rendered" piece of folded cloth I ever painted, which was my goal in this particular piece (usually I love stylized lines and fades). I find that the trick to achieving a natural look is not to "overblend" the intricacies of the folds. 

elephants

Done.
Not sure what to call this one yet, maybe "march of the elephants"?
48in x 48in (122cm x 122cm)
oil on wood

I have to varnish it, and scan it and update it to my site.

Here is a little progress shot compilation. I love documenting the pieces at their various stages.
I wish I could keep them in every stage!

Here is the piece I made for the show. I went back to the surfboard shape, it's called "warship".

pink is my newest obsession

Working on new pieces for a three person art show in December, very exciting!

sunset

New painting!

"sunset"

oil and pencils on wood

36in x 48in

Working on a new painting, that's also part of a new series. I am really loving this one so far, so much fun!

The painting is 3 by 4 feet, making it so far my biggest piece yet. It's a good size. I would love to go bigger as well. This piece is based on a small black and white drawing I did a little while back.
I made some small changes to the initial composition, such as the woman and her posture. I can't wait to see it done!

show end

Hello! Here are some more pics of the Unknown Art show (that I promised a while back). The show was also a part of the Long Island City open studio tour, and the closing reception was last night.


Here's a pic from the last night

And more from the opening:

unknown was a success!

Here's a little a glimpse of Friday night's show in Long Island City. 

The show went great, I should have more pics coming soon. :)

opening reception:

Saturday, February 16 // 6-10pm

This piece was inspired by the famous Basilica in the Piazza del San Marco in Venice, which I went to a few years back. I loved Italy. If you like to travel I highly recommend going there. Everything about Italy was delicious!

Here is the finished drawing. I kept it as simple as I could, emphasizing certain areas.

so far

My ladies in grey! So far these are the bigger black and white pieces I have created. The middle one is on paper, and the other two on wood (the one on right still being a work in progress).

I am really happy with how they are coming out. :)
I just need to scan them in.
