This new collection of original oil paintings have each been painted in one session, in the Abstract Expressionist style. They are all landscapes, to some degree, whether imagined or inspired by a real experience. Each composition has a horizon line- a place where it seems the ground touches the sky. I have been experimenting with different palette colors and different methods of applying paint.
Each original painting is for sale, unless otherwise noted, and is also available on prints and note cards. Enjoy!
Kizuna

This Modern Abstract painting was inspired by the “Kizuna” Bamboo Installation Art at Denver Botanical Gardens in 2012. It is a very unique abstract garden landscape. Stacks of golden bamboo bend and dance before a squared blue sky. A cautious planter of green grass peeks out beneath all of the action! This unique painting features thick, richly textured paint, a vibrant palette and a whimsical mood.

A sunny and bright aerial view of colorful summer crop fields is depicted in this Modern Abstract landscape painting. Paint has been applied using different techniques from impasto brushstrokes to smooth sweeps of the palette knife to create a lushly textured surface. A distant bluebird sky and puffy white clouds can be seen on the horizon.

“Memories of Mesas” is a Modern Abstract painting created with thick, impasto paint in vibrant ochre, sepia, umber, lavender, teal and pale pink. Active brushstrokes and bold sweeps of the palette knife create a richly textured surface that resembles rocky mesas overlooking a Southwestern canyon under a dusky purple sky.

Hot, and smoldering this Abstract Expressionist painting is sure to warm any space! Fiery colors of crimson, flame orange, burnt sienna, carbon black and golden yellow ignite the canvas and interact with thickly textured paint to create a vibrant abstract expressionist image.
