“Pebbles & Marbles” is painting three of three from the pandemic season completed New Years Eve, 2020. Allowing my subconscious to do the work it wasn't too surprising that confinement and what we do to fill our time between the walls became the theme of these three paintings. The fun color palette suggests optimism and hope, and a reflection of gratitude for friends, family and even the mundane.

We all found new things to do in 2020. We put together puzzles, took numerous walks around the neighborhood, zoomed cocktail hour with friends, reminisced fun travels from years past, dreamed, planned and spent time alone. Hopefully it was a time of healing, new found joys, gratitude, appreciation and silver linings in the end.

“Pebbles & Marbles”, 48” x 36” Mixed Media, Acrylic Glass on Canvas

These abstract paintings are an extension of my efforts to find new ways to layer and compose works of art that are both two and three dimensional. With a strong inward sense to recycle and reuse, these mixed media abstracts incorporate single panes of clear acrylic class, painted on the front and back side, layered again with house paint, acrylic paint, oil pastel sticks, markers, spray paint and whatever else I might come across to make the work interesting and inventive.
