A new painting titled "Data Cloud 2" representing information layered on information. 30 x 24 inches.

In my own little corner.....#drawings and #watercolors #artistsofinstagram

An art visitor once called this my basement studio, but I like to say 'garden level'. There is a garden right outside and it informs my process. Color for instance!

14 x 11-inch work on paper. I blasted watercolor droplets with an air compressor to make these spidery marks.

Unfinished paintings, lining them up for a critique...just me in the studio... but welcome your comments.

The forced air was dramatically effective on the watercolor medium in small work. Notice the wiry bursts.

I rock...in this orange rocker...very often starring at unfinished works...wondering what is the next step?

#InformationOverload! Many layers of transparent marks symbolize my relationship with data, social media and information. I utilized drip techniques, spray paint, and compressed air to create this 30 x 24-inch painting is titled "Blush Cloud."

I am enjoying these small #worksonpaper. Very freeing to just do, and not worry about it.

I am reposting one of my favorite works on paper from 2016. It is 25 x 30 inches. It is actually on synthetic paper #Yupo. I used rubber objects such as shelf liners as stamps to make the textures. Is it a drawing or painting?

Yes it is totally faked, but art really makes the room come to life don't you think?

This 30 x 24-inch painting is titled "Blush Cloud." It is part of a series of work with multiple layers that symbolize our relationship data, social media and information. I utilized drip techniques, spray paint, and compressed air.

We once had a piece at the Pratt Gallery by Swiss artist Daniel Spoerri. He took his studio table top as found and glued down all the objects and hung it on the wall. I recreated it unwittingly in my studio. @janehaimes curated that show. #artstudioart #foundart #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #brooklynartist #contemporaryart #danielspoerri #art

Here is the complete work I posted details of the other day. I am experimenting with the elements of air and gravity as my collaborators. In this small #watercolor, I rotated the paper to control the flow of drips and used forced air to create the expressive bursts. #art #workonpaper #fluid

This painting was spontaneous and almost there. But the red came out a little too bold for me. Have to keep going. What do you think?
