Three Pencils & Pen


12″ x 9″ — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

This is the last piece I managed to finish for the upcoming December show. This is the sister painting to Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. It is more grown-up and sophisticated, but there is still the connection between the different types of pencils.

I think these paintings are interesting because of the simplicity and the way the lines (pencils) converge and make an ‘x’ design. In actuality, the entire composition is made up of the most simple shapes — some rectangles and a few lines, yet they translate to recognizable objects.

Here is another “smaller” painting for the upcoming December group show at the Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. I forgot how enlightening smaller studies like this can be.

This is my interpretation or an extension of the classic cut flower still life. And you can expect more intricate and expanded versions of these in the future from me. I think they’ll be fun!

These pieces will be in the upcoming December show at the Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. They are smaller pieces, I haven’t worked that size in months. It’s a very different experience.
