Seeing the greater level of detail and the range of tonalities achievable in scaling up from 8" x 10" to 24" x 30" astounds me each time I see one on the wall. Numbers 1 and 2 are hanging in the dining room, # 3 is on the easel, and I'm beginning to think about where to try to get them exhibited later this year.
April 2018: Large Velocity PROJECT StartS
Having started small with the original Velocity series (8" x 10" each) and then gained confidence with the first couple of Velocity 101 N series, I started this month working on larger (24" x 30") versions of the original series. As I write, the first is done and #2 is in process on the easel.
Following the nomenclature used on the Velocity 101 N series, this is Velocity Lakeville Highway N Nov 17 2014 #1.
If you are in Ukiah area on Saturday, May 19, stop by the Plaza and say hello; I will be taking part in the Pastels in the Plaza event.
MARCH 2018: VELOCITY 101 N SERIES BEGINS
On January 19, 2018, while I was riding the bus north between Santa Rosa and Ukiah, once again the late afternoon sun began to create odd reflections and mirrors through which I could view the rapidly passing landscape. Transfixed, I took a series of the photos.
This first piece is titled Velocity 101 N Jan. 19 2018 #1. Acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20". Work continues on this new series and I'm also doing larger versions of the original Velocity series.
