A new abstract expressionism painting created from my imagination will be on display in the Van Landingham gallery in May. “Spreading Love” is a handcrafted oil painting on canvas (20″ x 30″) of an imaginary face that is part of a flower bouquet. The wind is blowing and the petals of the leaves are flying around spreading love to everyone.

Come by the gallery next month and view this artwork. It might be just what you need in your home or office!

New Abstract Expressionism Painting

This handcrafted oil painting on canvas is one of seven paintings on display through April 30 in the Van Landingham Gallery. The title is “Washington Monument”, the size is 6″ x 8″, and the price is $250.00. I worked from stock photography (photos that are royalty free) to get cherry blossoms and changed colors and moved stuff around. When I started painting this series, I decided to break the composition into pieces and for this size it worked well. I painted it in pieces of color and put warm and cool temperatures next to each other for depth and contrast.

Explore all seven paintings that are on display this month and find the perfect artwork to enrich your home.

This month I have one painting in the March150 exhibit which is a fundraiser to provide free commuity programs at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Each wood panel is 10″x10″ and the price is $150.00. On March 30, the last day of the exhibition, each work that is unsold will be on sale for $100.

My painting, Carnival, is about what I think of when I think of a circus and the face paint on clowns and other actors. It is a painting about fun, celebration, and theatre.

Check it out this month!
