Inspirations from Knossos
Here are a few sketches…
…And subsequent paintings inspired by the art of the Minoans of Crete. These were all created while on Crete in 2017.
The Blue Circle
A classic painting from 2008.
More Sunflowers
Here is a recent painting based on one of the earlier pastels. A detail from “Blue Vase” using acrylic paint rather than pastel.
Early Florals
Watermelon
Sunflower
Blue Vase
Lemons
Green Vase
Some early pastel floral interiors… and a lemon tree.
Shadows From the Past
Here are a few shadow-inspired paintings from 2007.
These shadow paintings are created by laying a black museum board beneath an interesting shadow, tracing the shadow onto the board, and then bringing the board into the studio to add colour.
More Inspiration from Space
Three more paintings inspired by images of Earth from space.
Abstractions
Curves, Color, and Teapot
These are both pastel on black museum board. 20″x28″
