...I spend most of my life alone....it comes with the territory. Being an artist requires that solitude and it is an exercise between you and your own mind making art. ...So, ....when you meet someone "out of the blue", and there is a profound connection...after many years of solitude...it invites influence and affect on your state of artistic "being". As an artist,...has this ever happened to you?

....Thrilled! over a recent sale at Meyer Vogl Gallery in Charleston, SC....this minimalist or "quiet" painting was recently acquired by a collector. ...from memories gathered at the beach...always a place for quiet contemplation and meditation.....

One of many new large abstracts in the works.......:) shown installed into pleasing digital interior space with frames. It adds another dimension when seeing these large paintings in proportion to its interior surroundings and natural lighting....this one is available here in New Orleans at Jillian Mac Fine Art

....another layered abstract pushed to the limit. I really like this expressive painting with underlying structure....and heavy mass,....almost sculptural.
