Hey everybody;

Hope all is well… great to be back in the studio…. Our trip to europe was energizing, ……we had an incredible time and saw some amazing sights… It was great breathing in the rich history of Bavaria and Berlin.  On a our trip to Berlin we saw some amazing sites and it was a great to see the oldest of the old architecture and the newest of the newest ultra modern buildings and hotels.  Berlin is a city rich in history and in the middle of an huge modern transformation.  Yet history is everywhere … while we were in Berlin I was mesmerized by this statue in the middle of the street, I couldn’t stop staring at it.. and it be came the inspiration to my latest piece, “the wailing”    ….. this is 48 x 36, mixed media, oil, collage, original photographs….. Hope you all enjoy, I’ll have another one out shortly…..

…….peace

hey everyone;

I have always been attracted to numbers.. I work with them everyday, and have tried to incorporate their power into some of my creations over the years….    I’ve done some research recently and found out that there has been a few theorems and formulas to link colors to numbers…. I have always been fascinated by the artful complexity and the relationship between both …. Of all the of the color numbers here is what I found out;

1.  white is the rarest color number

2.   66 is the first white number

3.   2001 and 2002 are rare consecutive white numbers

4.  the first color number is black

5.  1 is the first black number

6.   84 and 85 are the first black numbers to run in succession

This was the theme of my most recent paintings…. they are 40 x 30, oil, they are titled, “white numbers”,  and , “black numbers“… hope you all enjoy,  I’ll have another one out shortly…. peace
