I’ve been quiet because I’ve been busssssyyyyy!
not.enough.time.in.the.day….

I am working on a commission for a dear friend and I wanted to show you a very exclusive sneak peek… I hope she’s not seeing this… But I know this painting will evolve so this isn’t giving too much away. Here is the first few layers of the majestic Century Oak of Texas A&M.

I did this piece for a friend as a gift. I painted over another piece and took advantage of the texture, which is one of my favorite things to do. Used very quick brush work and kept a light and loose approach. I’m happy with the result. I hope she is too…

Jazz-minh Moore

There is a great painting show happening at the Lyons Wier Gallery (175 7th Ave (at 20th St.) in Manhattan right now. Artist Jazz-minh Moore has a solo show titled “Slipping Sideways” which will be up through June 20th. Jazz-minh’s paintings are alive, full of energy and emotion. Her technique is beautifully mastered and her colors bring into this dreamy and windy world. I can’t wait to see her work.

Here is an excerpt from the gallery press release:

Ms. Moore’s deftness of hand lends itself seamlessly to her methodology. Utilizing the wood grain as a landscape to influence her compositions, some sections are left unfinished and others are highly rendered. The level of completion is an evolving collaboration between the organic drawing ‘style’ present and the wood panel itself.

Stopped by my friend’s new spot in the L.E.S. to check out John Breiner’s new work. I’ve seen John’s art at Mighty Tanaka and have loved it ever since. His use of color and drawing skills are alive and playful. The opening itself was warm and fuzzy with good friends and ever better cocktails.

Panda is hosting artists John Breiner from April 28 – May 30th, 2010. Stop by from Wednesdays to Sundays and take a peek.

Once my teacher, always an inspiration. I took Stephen’s class while in school at LCAD and I must say, I painted my favorite painting of all my school years. I haven’t had the patience to paint this way again… but I always think about his technique, palette and overall attitude. What a talent. Check out his very impressing and extensive portfolio http://stephenwdouglas.com/.

P.S. & Marie Krøyer

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Peter Severin & Marie Krøyer were Danish painters that I discovered while my visit to the Goteborg Museum in Sweden.







There’s not many of her paintings online, but I really enjoyed her style the most, and both of their brushwork is just divine.
