New paintings

Three to five of my paintings sell per year. Not bad, I figure, since they only turn up in Plastic Club gallery shows. This one sold last month.


Here's two more from recent figure drawing sessions at the club. You can see on the right, how the clips that hold the paper in place get in the way. I'll fix that later.


I'm often asked what kind of paint I use. It's gouache. I like how flexible it is. Used with water, it's like watercolor. Used dry, it's like acrylic. I use a variety of wet and dry with each painting. The lines are compressed charcoal and the paper is what I call 18 x 24" Green Boots paper. Durable stuff.
