Today in addition to celebrating the color turquoise, I will demonstrate how you can use a tube wringer which will save you large amounts on your paint, and is also good for the environment. I'ill show you how to select a palette so you do not experience paint loss from drying or caking paint, whether you use oil or acrylic. I will also show you how to save wear and tear on your expensive paint brushes by mixing and moving paint with a tool every artist should have in their art supply cabinets. These vibrant daffodils are painted using spoons and palette knives in a painting technique I developed called Daubism. I will also demonstrate for you how to mix colors using a limited set of colors, applicable to both oils and acrylic paints.

Collectors use my paintings for meditation, calming, and healing thought. Artist’s Statement: I am a Colorist and am known for contemporary realism focusing on botanicals and landscapes, especially ponds, flowers and skies. My sky paintings are my idea of how God created Earth with one breath. Every morning and every evening He creates a new sky for us. I employ vigorous brushwork and texture through the palette knife in my work so that people may experience along with me the "feel" of the painting. I find mosaics fascinating how the individual pieces all contribute to the whole- I want my paintings to have a similar idea where overlapping petals of paint all stand on their own and then contribute to the total. My work known as "Daubism" is created using a palette knife where each stroke of color is isolated from the others. Most paintings will have hundreds of different colors, these colors are all individually hand-mixed from a limited set of colors creating unique colors which relate to one another. I am striving for a sensual, tactile surface in paint." I am an American artist whose bold contemporary paintings focus on joyful use of color, texture and movement, creating a low relief effect in paint- a hybrid between low relief sculpture, mosaic, and traditional painting. Two of my paintings are in the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art's permanent collection. My originals and commissioned work are available exclusively through the fine art galleries across the US who represent my original and commissioned work.
