New Abstract on Paper

I am on fire painting in my new porch studio. I did this one this afternoon in the rain. Seems like I am liking red lately - actually I am trying to use up paint before I buy any new tubes and i have lots of reds.

PA Art Studio

So I needed a place to paint here in PA - I have a screened-in porch on the side of the house and thought I would try that. The bottom is a photo of my new studio and the top a new abstract I painted yesterday. I like painting on the porch - well for the nice weather - it is bright and I feel like I am in the woods working. I sometimes have a hard time getting used to painting in a new area - not so here. I hope to do a lot of great art work this summer in my little porch studio. I am painting on paper for now - I did not want to cart a ton of canvases up with me but I may buy some while I am here.

PA Paintings

So the bottom photo is the abstract painting I did the other day - I just wasn't happy with it. I decided to do some more work on it and the top photo is the final result. I think it is a much better painting now, more interesting and better resolved.
