New Paintings

I've been working on some new Abstract Art paintings. Enamel paint (which is real difficult to control) on masonite board. (which is a fiberboard made from pressed wood fibers with a glossy finish) The hard glossy surface, along with the slippery paint made these paintings a artistic challenge with black being the prominent color and primary colors being the secondary colors.




I'm experimenting with oil based paint (the green on the left painting) under some of the black enamel paint to achieve an interesting affect when brushed away. These paintings are all large is size with 3 feet by 4 feet being the minimum and 6 feet by 8 feet being the maximum.
If you have a wall big enough to house a six foot by eight foot painting-then you can afford to buy one of my paintings.

AMSTERDAM.....I'M NEW YORK!

Well it's been four months since I last blogged.
I've been away a long time but now I'm back and better than ever! I spent some time in Europe: England, France and Holland. London, Paris and the countrysides were all great but Amsterdam was my favorite. Renting a houseboat on one of the canals was the way to go. The best way to get around is by bicycle and everybody has one. There is a whole different way of living here that everyone should experience at some point in their lives. I will be going back for sure but not during the winter.
Moved to a new city in America. More on that later.










Enjoying the best waffle that I ever ate with rubbish-bin Santa.
