Last Post of the Year

I'm closing out the year on a high note with the recent press from the Denver Post and the New American Paintings issue finally hitting newsstands. Here's a just-completed small work for the "Meditative Landscape" at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center in Dunedin, Florida. This will be the last post of the year. Looking forward to 2010!

Possibilities

Behold the first canvas I've stretched in probably three years. I've been painting on panels for so long it is nice to change things up a little, and I have to admit that I do get a little seduced by the romanticism/nostalgia of the textures and sounds of stretching canvas. How painterly right?

Collages of James Michael Starr

"Secret" paper collage on canvas

"A life" paper collage on canvas

Here's a couple of nice warm juxtapositions by James Michael Starr that use medical diagrams in an atypical way. His website is difficult to navigate, but there are some gems including these two collages.
