BEYOND THE LANDSCAPE

NEW CLASS COMING — 25 YEARS OF NON-REPRESENTATIONAL

PAINTING AND 6 YRS OF COLLEGE IN JUST 12 HOURS

Structure vs. chaos. Weight vs. openness. Control vs. surrender.

This July, I'm offering a new class built around the seven elements of 2-D art — not as rules, but as forces. You'll learn to feel them, use them, and let them collide.

No reference. No representation. Just paint, decisions, and the tension that makes a painting alive.

If you've ever wanted to push past what you see into what you feel, this is the class.

Limited to 5 spots. July 2026.

These are both ready for me to start to finish them. Next, I continue to complicate each color block and then work the edges of each shape. After that I can apply an alizarin crimson glaze that will unify each canvas and in the orange hillside—that will make that color absolutely glow.
