Dean - Flying "V" finds a new home in 2020

 This mixed media painting, size 24"x 60" has been on my easel for a while with a ground of collage papers and abstracted classical guitars. I decided this year to honour some of the great rock guitarists  and their guitars. In that spirit I have included their names to my painting. My work was completed when, as the focal point, I added a Dean- Flying "V". I am happy to say that the painting has found a new home with a guitar collector and is hanging in his music room keeping company to a real Dean and other fine guitars.

"Fall- Once Again"... also finds a new home

Image
Fall- Once Again is a 42" x 48" acrylic painting on canvas. This time I have used a limited colour palette and knife technique. The new owner, a very loyal collector, commissioned this piece after seeing a small version in my studio done on paper (18" x 24" ). I find it difficult to part with some paintings. I would have loved to display Fall - Once Again in my studio... if I had enough walls. I am happy knowing that it is being enjoyed and appreciated in a new home.
