Wheel within a Wheel 119, Acrylic, 40 in x 40 in, 2018

While watching Treasure Island with my son and family, I was busy doodling in my sketchbook.  I didn’t have a plan for my new painting, so I just began to play with some classic geometric forms and came up with something that I initially dismissed as too simple.

But once I got back to my studio, I decided to revisit the sketch, and some ideas began to flow and form leading to the composition that became the artwork.

 

I had an exciting time last week.  Several events sent my adrenaline system into high gear, a shelving system I set up in my studio came crashing down.

As a result, two of my 60-inch x 45-inch watercolours could have been lost.

My camera now sports a slight dent on the rim of the lens and cover.

Still, I am grateful – all items are safe.  My paintings are safely hanging on walls, and the camera is in its new protective case!
