Oil on Cradled Panel, 12x12x2

"Winged Man"

I always love figurative work......
All of my New Direction paintings are Figurative Abstract.

I am enjoying the spontaneous, carefree process of painting.
This painting is done Dec 2013, right before Xmas.
I feel I came long way since last summer.
I gave "The Winged Man" as a title to this painting.

"Objet d'Art"

 "Objet d'Art"
12"x12", oil on Canvas

This is a painting I did last Fall for the oil painting class at Pierce College.
Objective of this assignment was to intrigue the viewer and create the impact with a painting from a plain, ordinary object... not looking as random or insignificant, but awesome, intriguing, powerful, and  precious.
These are just plain oranges and a a new 12x12 cotton canvas.
I put them close together barely touching each other, to create the visual tension.  The canvas was new, still wrapped with clear plastic. It creates the reflective surface.
Canvas and oranges are just usual objects.
But in this painting, these two plain objects, a canvas and oranges, looking awesome.

This painting  was chosen for the student show for the gallery, making me so happy!
