Prickly Pears Blooming in my studio again!

I am currently working on 3, 30 x 30 x 1.25" Still Scapes based on images of the Prickly Pear that I gathered last spring. The first four are now on view at the Rainbird Gallery in Blanco, TX.
These can be viewed at my website.
Pictured is one of the 3 new works under construction in my studio.
I applied the initial layers with mural brushes and kept the layers raw to show texture, then used pastel pencils to define shapes.
These paintings will be shown at Bass Concert Hall in Austin TX, April 26-July 25, 2010 and will also be entered into "What Texas Means to Me", a juried show at Austin Art Space Gallery in July 2010. The call to artists will be posted soon!

Into the blue!

I worked on 5 x 7" gesso board with pigments left from a previous painting session and completed 8 "waves". These are done with Chroma Ateliers applied wet into wet. These paintings will be on view at Austin Art Space Gallery April 12-25 in the residents show "Studies in Blue". I like the raw, loose feel of the pigment on the board, and it was fun to do 8 small paintings after working on 30 x 30" canvases.
