Today's Paintings 4.30.09


Autumn Aspens (Commission)
Original 48" x 36 x 0.75" painting
Two 24" x 36" canvases
Golden, Liquitex, and Chroma acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas




Autumn Path (Commission in progress)
Original 72" x 36" x 0.75" painting
Three 24" x 36" canvases
Golden, Liquitex, and Chroma acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas

Today's work includes new originals of two of my popular compositions from the Autumn Aspens and Autumn Path series. My patron is from Canada, found my work on one of my sales venues, and I worked with her to determine the number and size of canvases would work best in the space she wishes to hang these paintings.

My patron in New York approved the American Basin commission, so that painting is off the wall and on stretcher bars now. I have another large commission on order, and will be painting a new original based on one of my floral compositions. I'll post that one once I have some paint down.

Quote of the Day
"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world - to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want." --Ayn Rand
