Tree Paintings and Weavings

I have continued work on the tree paintings from my last post. Below are two images, each with a detail corresponding. I am thinking about abstracting the landscape through sculpting space with shape, line and tone. Color juxtapositions, overlapping and transparencies are also becoming important in my painting.





Here are three paintings in progress. I have started to paint with washes by using more medium in my oil paint.




Weaving continues to infuse my painting practice. The weaving below hangs on my studio wall at 8'x10'.


Here are two details of my large weaving, followed by a two oil studies on canvas board.
