This is from oh, maybe a couple of months ago. I still have a bunch of these little ones, but I particularly like this one. Very beachy and peaceful.

Oil on canvas, 12×9″ $335.00 USD
Well, this is the second oil dot painting. I’m still very much figuring out these paints, but the results sure are pretty!
Speaking of figuring the paints out, it’s been at least a couple of weeks since I finished this, and although the paint is dry to the touch, it’s still a bit tacky, so not quite ready to ship yet. I used a mix of fast drying alkyd oils and conventional oils.
Tekakwitha and I both have a real fascination with the UK (and Irish) countryside, and the names of these paintings reflect that. Not that these are any sort of literal representation of the locations they’re named for. It’s more of just a feel and homage to these beautiful lands.
More UK inspired titles coming up!

This is the first dot painting in oils for me. It’s quite the challenge getting the oils to a consistency that will work with this technique. Also, I have to wait a few days between layers where I put one set of dots on top of another. Still, I think the colors are a bit more intense, but maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

Just a nod to the great African American Cherokee Jimi Hendrix.

Well, why wouldn’t they be parading? Even though the cumulative weight of the water they carry is considerable, they float as if weightless. They’re constantly changing, merging, breaking up, vanishing then popping up again somewhere else in a different configuration.
Kind of gives “parade floats” a new meaning.
Rather like belief systems, come to think of it. What if we didn’t take them so seriously, and just enjoyed the ebb and flow of thoughts and feelings and understandings through the millennia?
Sounds like fun!
What do you think?

This painting is on reclaimed 3/4″ scrap plywood. The black line at the bottom right is not part of the painting, but is where the wood is missing from where it was cut as part of some project.
These paintings on reclaimed scrap wood are sometimes not square, having angles, saw marks, and other imperfections. The left side of this painting is not straight, although this doesn’t show in the picture.
I love the idea of painting on something that was destined for the landfill. Making something beautiful out of something that absolutely was not. Kind of like what can happen with our lives, don’t you think?

So maybe it doesn’t look like a bridge to you.
It didn’t to me either, but that was the first thing my wife saw, and I liked that.
I just finished rereading The Legend of Bagger Vance by Stephen Pressfield (stay with me here) and there’s a lot in that book that isn’t about golf. In fact, the book isn’t really about golf at all, golf is just the vehicle for the meaningful stuff. I also found out that the book was based on the Bhagavad Gita.
There’s a lot of talk in the story about finding your authentic swing. And of course, your authentic swing is what you have to find in life, whether it’s your golf game, your painting game, your relationships, or your own spiritual journey.
I feel like I’ve been honing in on my authentic painting swing for the past year. I’ve come close in my career, but never as much as recently. And like Rannulph Junah, the protagonist in the story, I found it, then got in my head and lost it, and have come back to it now with greater understanding. I don’t find my painting path, my painting path finds me. And then I get out of the way and allow it to paint through me.
Kind of like getting on a ride at a theme park.
Oh, and the field of flowers or the bridge? It makes absolutely no difference. That’s head stuff that happens after the fact. I present the painting with a name that serves as an identifier, with some reference however tenuous, to the imagery so the title can be a useful tag.
The Pharaoh Sleeps Tonight Acrylic on canvas board, 9″x12″
“…in the jungle, the mighty jungle”
My wife said it should be “in the desert” if it’s a pharaoh — but I pointed out that it’s a jungle in the painting. Then she said well then it’s a Central American pyramid. But it’s definitely an Egyptian pyramid. Not at all like the Central American ones.
Of course the desert was once lush and tropical, so either I’m conflating two different times or this is revisionist archaeology.
Or something…
It’s just a painting. Give me a break.
