The composition exudes an enigmatic allure, drawing viewers into a tranquil realm where the contrasting red at the bottom adds a touch of intrigue and mystery.

This contemporary masterpiece adorned with a geometric grid, subtly guiding the eye. Dominated by soothing grey-green tones, it whispers tranquility.

This painting is inspired by walking in Boston city at night and looking up at the tall buildings.
If you are an artist like me, you have at least a couple odd paintings lying around somewhere that will never be finished. Sanding away the old paint gives you a fabulous new surface to make new works. Sanding and glazing add texture and depth to my paintings. This painting is a great example of the effects you can achieve by sanding.
I used an orbital power sander to remove paint from an older painting to create textures and the look of peeling paint in this painting.

Fresh flowers being a refreshing energy in spring.
This painting explores the lines of nature and the beauty of flowers in a vase, created in layers and interesting brush strokes. In an attempt to merge florals and abstraction this painting went through many variations.
I wanted the flowers to retain their organic shape, ethereal qualities and the painting to stay true to elements of abstraction like surface quality, texture, lines, marks, collage and mixed media paint.
This version keeps all those qualities intact. Do you agree? 

This painting is currently in the Rockport Art Assoc and Museum show exhibit will be in April 2022 titled "Jacki's Flowers" to honor our beloved Jacki Harrington, that left this earth this past December.

Original colorful, abstract painting. I thought this painting looked like waterlilies abstracted however, a friend saw this and said, "I don't see waterlilies, but i do think you were having a party in your head when you did it!!"So i decided to use her words as the title of this painting. I think maybe the party is a celebration with flowers, balloons and streamers. #abstractpainting, #originalart, #artforsale.

" A simple line painted with a brush can lead to freedom and happiness" - Joan Miro

It is important to savour the delicious feeling of putting down our marks and brush strokes.
Creativity is a gift it is important we look for opportunities for play and exploring without judgement.

This small mixed media painting inspired by the beautiful colors of fall in New England, by the colors I see outside my window. Corn, carrots, daffodils, and buttercups.

If you want to make a white painting start with a lot of colors !! Once all those endless shapes, squiggles, and marks make no sense at all begin to shape your true vision of deciding what to keep and what to leave out. This push and pull is what created this abstract painting. I am very happy with the results so named it Euphoria.

"Euphoria" is an tranquil abstract painting layered with soothing white, purple, yellow, and grey, intertwined with a myriad of other colors. An ecstatic dance of hues, shapes, and textures radiates boundless joy and elation, evoking a euphoric experience for the beholder, transcending the limits of conventional expression.

Abstract art is " art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect." Wassily Kandinsky.

This abstract painting can also be appreciated in terms of all the individual, visual elements of art: color, shape, line, texture, space, value, etc. It uses colors and textures to their best visual strength to create a sound composition from these elements.

“Flowers, Wine and Fruit.” is a large abstract mixed media painting.
Colorful, collectable and contemporary, original still life painting on  paper direct from the artist. 

This painting focuses on the rich texture of patterns enveloped within a still life. Color and line relationships are explored through an arrangement of fruits, flowers and vessels.

The painting is abstract in nature with the shapes taking on a somewhat flattened appearance which renders them to be more like puzzle pieces with in a whole. This is another theme within my work that I continue to explore. The colors are vibrant and the artwork contains visible brushwork and texture.

Beautiful mixed media floral abstract still life. Although now almost completely abstracted the idea came from Van Gogh's sunflower paintings. It includes lots of mixed media textures, lines, drips, splashes and mark making.

This painting is a small study for a larger painting. Hope you guessed Andy is Andy Warhol. 

"Warhol’s 1964 series Flowers, however, is a refreshing and surprising departure from the artists’ initial themes of pop culture and commercialism, and every spring, critics are reminded of the influence that his nature-focused work continues to have on the art world."
