Getting work ready for my upcoming solo show, Dispatches, at the West End Gallery in Corning, NY which opens July 24. I am in the final stages of framing and the show will be ready for delivery by the end of this week.
I’m at the point where I really get an impression of the group of work as a whole, to see how the pieces work together and, hopefully, complement one another. Thus far, I’m very pleased with this group and the overall feel it conveys. The work is predominately on canvas and the colors are deep and saturated with a lot of interesting texture. I think the show as a whole should have a very striking appearance.
The piece shown here, Omega Wind, is a good example of this show’s work. There is great motion in the movement of the trees as well as in the underlying textures in the sky. I particularly like the complexity of the sky’s colors, the different shades of blue and green running across it. It creates the depth of feeling I want this piece to possess. I think it’s a very strong piece, which as I’ve said before, is simply my opinion. The viewer’s reception of the painting may be very different.
