New painting in process with Irish blessing

New painting in process with Irish blessing

I take great pleasure in taking advantage of both my passion for painting and graphic design to create something unique. Years ago, I introduced stenciled lettering into my paintings. Recently, I’ve returned to incorporating typography in my fine art. In my new works I enjoy experimenting with a greater variety of type styles.

As I begin new graphic design projects, I enjoy scrolling through my font library to choose a type face that best communicates the client’s message. Now, I’m doing the same for my paintings. I’m experimenting with more expressive messages.

A new, as yet untitled, and very wet painting on which I am working is pictured at the top of this post. I look forward to posting the final piece, when it is completed. Depicted in this blog post, below is the “Sprinkler Dance,” which contains some of my earlier stenciled lettering and the “Daylily” painting, with the title incorporated in script lettering.

Do you have an affirmation or philosophical phrase that is very meaningful to you? Please send it to me or comment on this page if you would like me to include it in one of my paintings.
