Cold Wax + Oil on Cradled Panel,  12″ x 36″

$460

I’m working through several paintings about numbers. This painting depicts the way single numbers are constant, secure, firm. Each number has it’s own place, fits neatly into it’s own slot, ready for use in a moment’s notice.

Cold Wax + Oil on Cradled Panel, 31.5″ x 31.5″

$1,290

When I started this painting, I set a goal for myself to depict a landscape in a representative way rather then in abstract. Using a photograph as reference material, I employed my cold wax & oil painting technique which meant applying the paint without a brush and using tools to build up layers of texture. I was pleased with the outcome.

Cold Wax & Oil on Cradled Boards, each sized 12″ x 12″

Set of 3 for $550

This set of three paintings started out as an idea to explore my relationship to the numbers from 0 to 10, specifically how every number has a specific meaning or representation to me. However, these paintings did not go according to plan. Here is my story…

It was early May 2013. I was due to arrive in Mineral Point Wisconsin for a cold wax & oil workshop with Rebecca Crowell on the first of June. We had been asked to start a series of paintings on which we would continue to paint during the workshop. I struggled with a concept for several weeks, finally settling on the number idea (described above) and so, began my series.

I opted to choose only 3 colours – blue, red & yellow – and, as these paintings progressed, visual images of maps keep surfacing. I also unintentionally started this series with “0” & “1” – the binary numbers on which computer operations are based. By the end of the workshop, it was painfully obvious that these paintings were not about numerical importance but instead about the way my daytime job (computer work including bookkeeping which was a struggle for me) uses up much of my energy and creativity. The slash of red on one panel seemed to seep from a dark “wound”, very much like my job was bleeding my creative life away. Yet, the vague map-like background acts as a reminder that life is a journey that is not just tied to my present analytical job, which, although interesting, does not represent my true self.

Cold Wax + Oil on Cradled Panel, 24″ x 36″

$1,120

Inspired by a light skiff of snow on a field of frost-dried weeds and bare red dogwood twigs with just a slight shadow of dark pine trees in the distance,  I wanted to depict the exact moment the autumn season moves into winter.

Cold Wax + Oil on Cradled Panel,   30″ x 30″

$1,170

The story behind this painting is all about FUN! Three quirky bee friends buzz away from their birthplace in the cool green grass towards the beckoning siren-call of the riotous red-hot flowerbed – their first adventure away from the hive. Be careful, young bees! you never know what lies ahead! This painting looks fabulous displayed on a dark wall.

Cold Wax + Oil, Diptych on 2 cradled panels, 36″ x 24″

$1,123

After careening off the edge of the falls above, dropping, bouncing and ricocheting off boulders, the water slows down, moving quietly but deliberately among the rocks in the riverbed on it’s journey to the bay. I painted this set of 2 paintings in quiet colours with undertones of bright reds, greens, oranges and blues representing the hidden energy of the river.
