Here's my latest work. Meanwhile, you may have noticed that I'm asking for donations for art supplies, which are dwindling rapidly, due to the fact that I lost my "day job" back in November and there is nothing currently in sight, yet. If this situation drags on into May and June, I will not be able to renew either my domain or webhosting for my website. Of course, I'd still have this blog, however, assuming I continue to have internet access service at all. So, any help I can get would be very much appreciated and, to show my appreciation, I'm offering an original 8.5"x11" painting on paper to all who make a minimum donation of $25. That's a $180 value for $25, or a discount of about 14% off the regular price.
Anyway, over the last several days (and I skipped a few days), I've completed the following: White No. 15, Blue No. 15, Brown & White No. 15, Blue No. 16, Blue No. 17, Green & White No. 7 and yesterday's Magenta & White No. 5.
A few days ago, I began "slacking off;" i.e., going back to one painting a day from the two paintings I'd been doing since about December or so. Actually, it's certainly not due to a lack of enthusiasm or interest, just that I'm getting low on painting supplies and money, as well. Unless you're one of these yuppies who still hasn't felt the pinch yet, you're aware the economy is imploding all around us. I could say much more on that, but this isn't the appropriate forum for it.
Anyway, here are my three latest paintings, Black & White No. 31, Green & White No. 5 and Blue No. 14.
Note that in Blue No. 14 I have again switched blues and, yes, for economic reasons, as before. I think I have about three or four different blues I can use, so I'm switching between them to extend my supply.
Catching up, yet again. Here are my latest paintings, which includes Orange & White No. 7; three new additions to the Blue series; the first two of a new series titled Yellow Ochre & Brown; two additions to the Black & White series; two additions to the Brown & White series and four new additions to the Jazz series.
Note that, in Jazz 13 through Jazz 16 the heavy texture in the black ground, which was a feature of the first twelve paintings in the series, has not been carried through to these latest four additions. This is due to using fluid black acrylic for the ground, as opposed to the black tube color used in the first paintings. The fluid acrylic, being thinner, doesn't create the heavy textural effects I was getting previously. So, the look is somewhat different in these latest versions.
Also of note is the switch to a different blue in Blue No. 12 and Blue No. 13. This was simply due to the fact I was out of the original blue at the time and so used what I had on hand. I was thinking the two blues were more nearly the same, but, as it turned out, they are slightly different in hue and intensity. Actually, I personally prefer the muted blue of these latest two paintings.
