Art for All

I've started a new blog where I'm featuring some of my smaller paintings with links to the paintings in my Etsy store. It's called Art for All, and I have art available for all spaces and budgets.

You can subscribe to the blog in a reader, or sign up for e-mail notification of the posts. I also post each painting on Facebook and Twitter. Check it out!

Latest Painting

This is my latest painting using the pulled technique, acrylic latex on canvas 24 x 24 inches.



The patterns in the paint are amazing.

New Work

I decided to try the technique that I use for my miniature paintings on a larger canvas, and this is the result. The two paintings below are each 24 x 24 inches, acrylic latex on canvas. What do you think? Is it a technique that's worth pursuing? Click on the images for a larger view.

New Studies

These are some recent studies done with acrylic latex on canvas. They're all 12 x 16 inches.

New Haz Mat Paintings

I did some painting last week, and these are four new pieces in my "Haz Mat" series. So named because I get the paint from the Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Santa Monica!


24 x 24 inches


18 x 24 inches


30 x 40 inches


18 x 18 inches

Recent Work

I didn't think I'd have time to paint this week, with the ARTconnectsLA presentations and all. But I did manage to set aside one day for it, and this is what I did.

The blue turned out to be a lot more intense than I was expecting. It was a lot lighter before it dried.


36" x 36"



24" x 48"



24" x 24"



12" x 24"

As usual, these are all in search of titles, in case you have any inspired ideas!

More Miniatures

The miniature paintings continue to amaze me. I get the greatest patterns on these. Here are a few of my new ones. They're just 2.5 x 3.5 inches -- very small.

More New Work

Here are a few more new latex paintings that I like. Click to see them larger, and you can get a better idea of the texture.

New Latex Painting

New work in search of a title. I really like the crackle paste effect. Click on it to see a larger view, and then you can see the cracks.

New Latex Paintings

Here's a couple of new latex paintings I did yesterday. I especially like the first one.

I'm trying some new techniques. I get tired of doing the same thing.

More Ecoprint Work

I'm playing around with more ecoprint piece layouts.



This one is 36" x 48", and the materials are eucalyptus bark, indigo, oxalis flowers, and pomegranate rind on hemp and linen.

I'm sending the backing fabrics off to be stretched tomorrow, and they should be back in a week or so.

First Ecoprint Piece

Here's the layout for my first finished ecoprint piece. I tried stitching the pieces to the backing, but I didn't like the look of it, so I'm going to glue instead. That means that it will have to be stretched before I can glue.



It's 30" x 30", and the materials are brown onion skins, eucalyptus bark, pomegranate rind, iron and black pigment on hemp and linen.

New Work

These are two pieces of linen I recently dyed and painted. The first was ecoprinted using brown onion skins and then painted with black pigment in a soy milk binder.



The second piece was ecoprinted using liquid amber leaves and then dyed with eucalyptus leaves, bound with bulldog clips.



I'm going to start putting these and other pieces together into finished work pretty soon.

Minature Paintings

When I was painting the other day, I did a few miniatures. These are just a little larger than a business card -- 2.5" x 3.5". Acrylic latex on canvas.

New Landscapes

I've been painting this week and working on some new landscapes. These are two of my favorites. The others aren't yet dry.

This is a poured landscape painting that I did the other day, 24" x 30", acrylic latex on canvas. What do you think?

Here's one more black and white painting that's finally dry enough to photograph. It's 24" x 30", acrylic latex on canvas.

This is another new abstract landscape, 24" x 30", acrylic latex on canvas.
