Series

 I love to do series of paintings. Sometimes the series is based on a subject, sometimes based on a particular palette I want to test for its limits. Sometimes I work intermittently on long term series. I have been working on a series called Night Palms for many years. I might do two or three of the theme a year.

 

Recently I completed a fruit tree series. The first one sold a week ago to a tea party visitor to my studio. 

I am waiting for a group of 12 new 12x12 deep gallery wrap canvases to be delivered for my next series. It is going to be a study series for florals. I want to explore a more primitive, semi abstract exploration of some of my favorite flowers. Getting back to design elements for these studies. 

 

I often do series of paintings during the summer months when Florida slows down for artists. It is so hot here that not much goes on socially between June and October. It is a fine time to explore the art of a series.

 

Life is swell for country painters.......
