I make short videos of my painting process for social media. I thought I might share one or two with you. Every time I start a painting, I mix colors continuously from beginning to end. In these short "reels" I have already mixed most of the colors other than white. White is the trickiest of the colors. I never use "straight out of the tube" colors—especially white. Each painting has a unique white. Here the over-all palette is cool, so I choose warm whites to complement the cool colors. You may not know this, but my whites are made of every color in the palette, plus white.

The clients and I spoke several times about what they wanted their painting to look and feel like. They sent color swatches and photos of their home and this is the painting I created for them.

Working in the studio as expected.  Many of my painting begin very chaotic and you can see behind me.  I am searching for the right place to "Lift Off" so to speak.  In front of me is a very small work similar to the "water paintings".  Check out my shop for completed work. follow

1.The paintings are predominantly painted on wood.  I have them custom made here in asheville by a woodworker John Hunter.  The best quality surface made to order.  After the panels are delivered to my studio the primer is applied by hand. Once the paintings are complete  I select a personally curated frame to accompany the painting.  Either hand made by the same woodworker and installed or selected molding from a local frame shop and professionally installed. 

2. I like the immediate color of pigment sticks. Pigment sticks are the primary painting technique in this newest work. When I was a kid I loved a new big box of crayons.  Pigment sticks have a similar thrill.  

3. Oil paint is made of real material: metal, soil , powdered shell, it is real and not plastic like acrylics.  Light filters through oil and creates  depth and interest.
