New Work

 Another Face I remember, m/m with aluminum leaf on canvas.
10x10". I don't know who this is. a composite of many faces
observed throughout these many years. I had just finished this
when I heard news of a friend's passing. Then, a lone seagull
glowing pink and orange in sunset light passed overhead.
blessed dreams Susan Mackey. 

Self Portrait, sort of an encounter with a personal
art history. 10x10" m/m on aluminum leaf on canvas.
This is an outgrowth of earlier 'tape' constructed drawings.

best to you with the Light of the Season
with blessings for a healthy and bright New Year's
to you and yours.

color or not

 the color and the gesture didn't get along. i've gone through work i've done during the past year and realize that the work i am happiest with has a limited palette and a strong gesture. i'll let up on myself know. the painting can use a bit more warmth. for the moment it has to dry.

detail of the center. there is magic here. the paint brush glides.

best and onward,
deb.
