Is it Modern Art? Abstract Art? Contemporary Art?

The lines between different art movements get blurry around the edges.  The definitions of modern art, abstract art and contemporary art can sometimes be a little confusing.  Technically, an "abstract" oil painting has no representational elements.  It's not a picture of any "thing" you can pick out.  Still, it's hard to look at a good painting and not see something in it.  The real question is: when you look at a painting, how do you feel? 

That's how you find a painting you love.  An abstract oil painting appeals to different people for different reasons.  You might see shapes and colors that remind you of a favorite place.  Or the composition of the painting might evoke an emotion for you, whether soothing or energizing or uplifting.  Whatever the reason, trust your personal taste and go with a painting that you love.

Penumbra Sunset now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek

Penumbra Sunset 24 x 24 oil on canvas

At the end of the day, just before sunset, all of the colors around us become magnified for a brilliant moment, just before they fade into the twilight.  The ancient astronomer Johannes Kepler created the word "penumbra" to describe the elusive edge of an eclipse, where the light struggles to escape being blotted out by the darkness.  When I painted Penumbra Sunset, I wanted to paint about holding onto the edge of the light, the edge of hope, keeping the beauty alive inside the darkness.

You can see Penumbra Sunset now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.

Bare Winter now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts

24 x 24 Oil on Canvas

Bare Winter is about hope.  The stark image of leaf-bare trees in the snow inspired me to paint about the long wait for our chance to bloom.  The icy blue light of winter is set against flashes of sun, while the trees are caught in between, motionless, suspended between the deep cold and the distant warmth, clinging to their chance to break free and embrace the future.

You can see Bare Winter now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.
