Pack, Acrylic on Panel, 14x11


This is the final painting that I’ll be submitting to Cottonwood’s Abstract Show. Drop off is today and the show opens March 28. Even though I made three paintings, I’m only going to submit two. The second painting “Stacked” just wasn’t up to the caliber of this one and my first abstract “Winding.” I absolutely loved doing these paintings and there’s so much more potential in doing more. I could play with color, shapes, composition, “camera” angle. So expect more of these along with still life and sign paintings.

Winding, Acrylic on Panel, 16x20


The great thing about galleries having an open call for entries is that it gives me an opportunity to work on different styles and themes. This is my entry for Cottonwood’s Abstract Show. I’ve had the idea to do something like this for quite a while, but the deadline gave me the push I needed to try it out. I’m hoping it fits their criteria for abstract art. I like to think of it as a painting of an abstract sculpture. Whether I’m juried in or not, I had a blast putting this together and I’m hoping to have one or two smaller ones by the submission deadline. Wish me luck!
