Recent Paintings — Apollo

Apollo (2013)

This new painting is based, like Obidos, on walls of character—this one the lone surviving wall of the Roman temple of Apollo in Sicily.

Recent Paintings — Ring Six

Prints: Deerstone

In another, smaller group of water based monotypes from 2006, entitled Deerstone, I used a similar format to the Stela series, but experimented with a cut out template that allowed for an even larger range of colors and textures within a single print—with unforeseen and often pleasing results!

Prints: Stelae

I have already posted some prints I made in connection with particular paintings.

Although in the past I have worked with traditional printmaking techniques such as lithography and etching, sometimes combining the two, between 2004 and 2006 I produced several series of monoprints using water based rather than conventional oil based inks.

This technique allowed me to recreate some of the watercolor like effects that I have used in my stained paintings for many years.   Although this method does not allow true editions to be made, it is precisely the somewhat unpredictable effects produced from one impression to another that held the greater appeal for me.

In this post I show several in the Stela series of 2006, in which I combined small woodcuts of ancient Mexican motifs within free flowing haloes of various hues.

Recent Paintings - Obidos

In this new painting (2012) I revisited some of the imagery from my 1966 New York paintings and photographs, in particular the effects of scarred surfaces and worn lettering.

Recent Paintings - Ring Seven

Ring Seven 2010

This composition of reds, greens and orange tones was inspired by images taken during the demolition of an oil platform.  Again I was intrigued by the textures of weatherbeaten surfaces and partially obliterated signage.  

This painting is one of a series of three—two more to come!

Recent Paintings: Earth, Wind and Fire

Earth, Wind and Fire: WIND (2004)                          Earth, Wind and Fire: FIRE  (2004)

Based on a series of aerial photographs of wind farms in the western US, these two paintings are part of a triptych.  The third, EARTH, remains to be completed.

Recent Paintings - Smoke, Steam, Speed

I am starting the New Year with a series of posts on some of my more recent paintings - at least since 2000

Smoke, Steam, Speed  (2010)

with apologies to JMW Turner, one of my heroes
