This 4 foot by 4 foot panel has a layered build up of paint,papers, and textual compounds. The basic color palette is the same but it changed from an abstracted figurative work to a non-objective landscape look.
 4'x4' Mixed media on Panel v1
I was considering adding another collage element in the lower Right quadrant, but seeing how it looks in the photo verses in the studio, makes me say version 1 is better.

It was a busy week last week with the monthly critique on Tuesday, an other art group get together on Friday followed by a drive to Welches on Mt Hood for an evening painting demo. Here is what I worked on for just over and hour.
 Red with Stub 12x12 Mixed Media
This mixed media piece was painted earlier in the week, these may be the start of another series.
 Punch 12x12 Mixed media
Another idea I have been working with is in this painting done in the days prior to critique, my search for a fresh take on the landscape.
 Willamette Sky 16x16 Mixed Media
Thanks for looking and let me know what you think of these paintings.

Last night was Hillsboro's first Tuesday art openings and the shows at G&V Walters Art Center were good to look at and the music was a treat too. The Sequoia Gallery had a fine show and it is always good talk with the artists exhibiting and in their studios. This is developing into a good scene with local arts supporters and artists mingling with fine art, craft and music.
First Thursday in Portland is always a mob scene and has many offerings their is a special show in Lake Oswego by the critique group Splash,
Opening Art Show Reception, Thurs., February 4, 6:00 P.M. – 7:30 P.M., Graham’s Book and Stationery, 460 Second St. Thirteen artists from the talented Splash! group and five invited artists have created images that came to them as they read The Whistling Season,by Ivan Doig.
Last but not lest another fine artist Carolyn Cole is being featured on OPB's Art Beat seen locally on Thursdays at 8pm and repeats Sunday at 6pm, congratulations Carolyn.
The week of art openings ends withe the Patrons preview on Friday and Opening on Saturday evening of the annual Beaverton Showcase, featuring many fine local artists. If you are in the area I encourage you get out and support your local hard working artists.
Thanks for looking, and tell me what you think about any of these shows.
