Mural-sized Painting Work In Progress
BIRD OF PREY’S BRAMBLES
Cpme by during the April Open Studio day to see the finished large mural-sized painting.
This is a work in progress and a big stretch for me and my oil painting.
My studio is a place where I give myself stretch assignments to grow in my practice working with oil paint materials. In 2024-2025, my self-assignment is to paint a mural-sized painting on 5′ x 10′ Yupo. I feel a sense of anticipation and challenge in the work. My ideas for this extra large image are written in a notebook, some reference images or books are spread out on the work tables to influence my direction. For this extra large format, I work on Yupo stapled directly to a wall dedicated to this project. I’m using different brushes and tools to work in this large format. Chairs are available across the room for sitting to observe work in progress at a distance to take in the whole scene. On any given workday the studio may look like things are on hold at a standstill or may look chaotic with lots of activity and strewn materials; however, this is an integration experience for me to put it visually all together. My studio is a place of freedom to stretch, do new things and express what is in my mind transforming it into a physical representation with oil paint.

Garden and Patio, after Matisse
Inspired by Henri Matisse and the France’s Provence region. Summertime is a compelling time to get outside, enjoy the garden and sit on the patio to feel the sights and sounds of Nature, neighbors and sunshine.

In The Studio
My studio is a sanctuary for creative solitude where ideas come to life through materials. I feel a sense of calm and a sense of flow in the work. My ideas written in a notebook, some reference images or books are spread out on the work tables to influence my direction. There are lists of things I want to paint in the future, things to do on the current body of work or studio supplies I need to purchase. Mostly I work on an easel using stretched canvas or Yupo attached to a large foam core board. The larger scale surfaces are painted hanging directly on the wall. Chairs are available for sitting to observe work in progress. On any given workday the studio may look chaotic; however, this is an integration experience for me to put it visually all together. My studio is a place of freedom to express what is in my mind transforming it into a physical representation on canvas with oil paint.
