Physics...

I haven't been blogging for a while because I am excited to say that I've been working on some multimedia pieces.  Unfortunately, waiting for layers of paper, glued 'found objects' and decoupage to dry in this weather is horribly annoying.  With a little sunshine and a temp above 65 degrees, perhaps I'll be able to post a pic of my latest creation by the end of the week.  For now, here are two recent photos taken in NY and my neighbor's back yard:

Reproductions

I painted this reproduction a few years ago for a client who loved Wassily Kandinsky.  This particular painting called "Contrasting Sounds"  represents a musical composition.  It measures 4.5 ft x 5 ft, so working on something nearly as tall as me made the experience a lot more intimate.

Fine Lines

A friend recently gave me a fantastic tip on keeping the bleeding to a minimum when painting stripes.  I knew the stark contrast of these stripes was going to be particularly difficult and thought I should give this suggestion a try.  When I pulled the tape, I couldn't have been happier.  This bathroom is one of my favorite recent projects because it is so simple and classic.

Painting Projects

I haven't posted in ages but felt the need to update the blog with a few recent projects.  The tiles and the window below are hand painted trompe l'oeil treatments.
