Acrylic on wood panel. 16" x 16" (40.6 cm. x 40.6 cm.)

This is a painting I specifically made for the upcoming "DREAMS" issue of BLABWORLD magazine. The show should be in October 2012, and then the painting will become available for sale. (Copro Gallery, Santa Monica, Ca. USA)

This painting has been a BITCH from day one. When I started it, I was sick with a cold. I've put almost twice the time into this as my last painting, (and they are the same size, 16" x 16") Most of that extra time was fixing things and changing things. I almost gave it up twice during the process. I wanted to trash it! It was often a frustrating drama and sometimes depressing. However, I pushed myself to the end. Sometimes my work just goes that way. Now, after I have finished it, I like it! This one I call, "BAD DREAMS."

I can see endless possibilities for this kind of painting. Imagination generated, no landscapes, no gravity, no perspective, no rules. This is what I feel comfortable with.

This is my second "Garden Study." (you can see the first one here on FLICKR, it's next in line in the set ) I'm now jumping into a third. I will continue to make these 'test paintings' , approaching the subject from different perspectives, until I'm sure of my direction for the vary large "Garden" commission I have coming up.

This one is 12" x 16" on panel (acrylics)
