GVAL Annual Juried Art Show and Sale





Here are my entries into the Gilbert Visual Art League Annual Juried
Show and Sale.  I happened to help organize the online entries this year
and I'm blown away by the talent of our members.  We had 107 entries this
year and the juror must have had a difficult time weaning it down to
a number that will fit comfortably in the gallery.  The letters of acceptance 
will be coming out soon, and I'm hoping some of mine were accepted.
If you're in the area and interested in coming to the opening reception,
I hope you'll check out the details on my website under Events, HERE

Quantum Leap Series



I'm getting so much enjoyment from painting my Quantum Leap Series.  Here is the second painting in the series.  "Rose Rising" is a 15" x 30" mixed media painting on a gallery wrapped canvas.

Quantum Leap.   When particles haven’t actually formed yet.  When such things as electrons, photons, quarks, gluons, and bosons are still waves.  When electrons jump between one atomic obit and another. That instant when quantum physics tells us that the act of observation or interaction forms solid particles.  This series represents that split second in between, when the miracle of presence happens.

 In these paintings I'm trying to represent that by combining realistic painting with paint applied in abstract layered swirls.  It's different for me and I hope you enjoy the paintings!
