Paper Flame
Years ago I had started a series called “Elevating the Mundane” that ran for over 30 paintings. I’ve sold most of them and didn’t look at the posts for years.
A few weeks back I happened to look back on those posts and was blown away by the beauty of the photographs I had taken of these simple paper sculptures.
So, with my increase in skill over the years I’ve set out to do the photos justice in oils. But this time I would propel them further with color.

After work today it’s nice sitting and calmly painting. It’s almost meditative.

Time has been a scarce commodity these past few days but I still plan my art and execute when I can.

I had a super busy work day today and little time to work on this painting but I got some focused work in.

Because all of the other paintings are still wet I’ve started a fourth painting in tandem.
