Luminosity Squared

about 11 x 11 pastel and watercolor on Uart paper $100. plus tax and ship
The Potomac River right below the Chain Bridge has a wonderful open space view. I chose to use a square format, as I have done frequently as of late. Squares fascinate me. Being neither vertical or horizontal they begin with a tension not present in the other formats. Verticals are dynamic and make a thrust while horizontals are calming.......that leaves the wonderful square. It allows YOU to determine. Cool, eh?

Early November at Riverbend

about 7x11 pastel and watercolor on uart paper $100. Sold
This is another try at the same Riverbend/Potomac river scene I painted on Sunday. I changed to format and realized that I think I prefer the square.
Remember to vote... it's important!

August 16, 2008 Floating Island

6x6, pastel and watercolor on board $90.
Today is a travel day for me so I painted 2 yesterday. I like the way this one is very abstract yet real. Isn't there a dessert named Floating Island?

12x12, pastel and watercolor on board, to the gallery
This is another one I began this summer and today I knew how to finish it. I really like this one. It is moody and it's a square format two of my favorite things!
I need to figure out exactly why certain paintings sing so clearly and why others sink so severely! Alas.. one of the secrets of life!
