Fresh Today

Fresh Today 14 x 11 o/b  Ct Cummins

This is probably my own personal fight to stray into realism and all the basic tones and colors.  I can't help myself.  I really am in the struggle to paint more freely, more abstractly and with tons of color.  Only to find that I turn out a painting that is so opposite.  I know that when I find myself here as I have before in the past I am on a turning point in my work.  I have been pretty settled in and knew just where to go.  I also subtracted some colors on the palette and added others. 

Pair of Pears 6 x 8 o/c CtCummins

I seem to be going back to more and more colorful palette.  Influenced by Henry Hensche I feel I am back

on a path I once visited and why I left I have no idea.  After all color is the most emotional device that an artist 

uses to entice his or her audience to say" Look at ME"

Here is one of my newest pieces.  Always I seem to be  driven by the use of color and texture.
