Yesterday I completed “Absolute: Ignition”, my latest oil painting. It portrays a paper matchstick on a single wild daisy leaf, set amongst a iridescent greenish-blue birdseye maple background. This new hue of the background is a departure from the natural wood color and felt fresh; reminiscent of malachite maybe? Check out the gallery to see the process.

I’m often asked how I come up with new ideas. There are long answers and there are short answers to that question. Here’s the short answer:
-My Process-
Creation is the cyclical momentum of ‘thinking and doing‘. Yesterday’s work helped create today’s ideas. Today’s ideas will help create tomorrow’s work.
Think. Do. Everyday.

Today I’m introducing my latest fine art painting. It’s called “Absolute: Privilege” and features an antique scratch awl, two pieces of ripped paper, and a leaf from a blooming cherry blossom. The piece is painted on reclaimed cherry wood and is mounted into a frame from the 1800’s. All of the hardware on the back is hand-made specifically for this piece. Totaling around 17″ tall by 15 1/4″ wide (framed), the piece is actually a rounded rectangle recessed into a the carved out rectangle in the back of the frame. This space was where the original photograph and glass were mounted.
