Note to self: Intentional vs. Incidental 🤔 I am telling myself to acknowledge when certain moment in a composition & between compositions are intentional versus moments when they are perhaps more incidental - not planned, yet still successful. aka “Happy Accidents”🤗 Like how these 3 small paintings were not created with the intention of existing as a triptych, yet because they were all produced at the same time, they speak to one another - back and forth and through compositions. #happyaccidents #intentional #incidental #landscapebodies #portraitpainting #landscapepainting #processpainting #layersofpaint #boldandcolorful #artwork #abstractlandscapes #processpainting #abstractlandscapepainting #paintlayers #painting #paintings #art #abstractart #abstractpainting #acrylicpaint #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist

Larry ➰ Curly 🎀 & Moe 🍚 I made these 3 paintings all at the same time. While they aren’t a triptych, they certainly work well together and have a really nice natural flow from one piece to the next. #3stooges #larrycurlyandmoe #landscapebodies #portraitpainting #landscapepainting #processpainting #layersofpaint #boldandcolorful #artwork #abstractlandscapes #processpainting #abstractlandscapepainting #layersofpaint #paintlayers #painting #paintings #art #abstractart #abstractpainting

“It’s all rooted in drawing” My sketch/notebook is filled with notes to myself, just like this one. Sometimes they are revelations, other times they are reminders to myself; often times they are notes made while having thoughtful conversations during studio visits. This is a subtle, yet core part of my artistic practice. #notebook #sketchbook #sketchbooknotes #landscapebodies #portraitpainting #landscapepainting #processpainting #layersofpaint #boldandcolorful #artwork🎨 #abstractlandscapes #processpainting #abstractlandscapepainting #layersofpaint #paintlayers #painting #paintings #art #artwork #abstractart #abstractpainting
