This 12 x 16 inch painting packs some serious color! No title yet, hmmm... I created it using multiple layers of Amsterdam Acrylic paint and markers making on board. I used Amsterdam Reflex, Pearlescent and Expert series paints from them as well as their Acrylic markers. #royaltalensna

Finishing varnish on a 2x4 foot watercolor on various rice papers on mounted panel! The VanGogh watercolors and a little watered down Amsterdam Orange Reflux paints are really popping! The layering of it all has been a great joy! #createwithoutfear #royaltalensna #vangoghwatercolors #northshore

Painting in progress today with Rembrandt Soft Pastels on a 3x4 foot board. Painting it to Hania Rani playing. Always huge inspiration for the lyrical progressions of narrative! #haniarani #art #arte #abstract #painting #duluthart

It changes in different light! The 1st 3 images of the 2 foot painting are in different types of light! Pastels to the pearlescent, interference and fluorescent Amsterdam acrylic paint. This one may be called "Off the Vine" Be well, spread kindness #arte #duluthart #duluthmn #corporateart #painting

How to fix the art world! Well, at least 1 painting. This 4 foot painting was started during one of our recent live shows. I tried to carry the painting forward but just couldn't make it work. The radical approach had to happen. And it did, on another live show!

"Maelstrom" and "Phoenix Rising" or "Flight", I can't decide on the painting title for the 4x4 foot one on the right side...
Be brave, be kind, you are not alone...

Bottle, from my Breaking the Form series. What makes us us? The parts we see verses the unseen. Between my pottery & paintings, it's been a long journey of exploring this interplay narrative. Be well my friends and spread kindness, tolerance. #pottery #collecting #duluthart #duluthmn #arte
