busy summer in the studio

A view of my new work in the studio.

An (almost) finished painting.  I don't have titles for this yet but it's part of a series of paintings I have been working on overlaying a Star design with a Marijuana leaf design 

Another painting in progress.  I have been working on a  series of paintings using the "peace dove" design I developed over the spring.

Kittatinny Mountain

digital painting - Nov 2017

I painted this from memory after a drive through Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving day to see my family in Pittsburgh.

 I am generating new ideas of displaying photographs in the studio.  I like having the wall space to experiment with these compositions.  They become more like a mural when they get scaled up and adding more and more images allows a flexibility in meaning.
