Just thinking and remembering....not using any external reference at all. I hope this method will become a consistent category in my work. While I've used the method before, there don't seem to be very many of these.

Companion piece.....
This is perhaps a companion piece to the forest view with red ground.....the paintings do link up on strange informal ways.

...the last few days....
...a few pieces from the couple of days. I do try to make one piece per day, but there are a few days missed overall. But in the last year or so, I don't think I've missed very many. I think today's piece might end up being a fully abstract collage....I never really know until I sit down with the materials.
Top piece is (Sold)

From the Churchyard
From the Churchyard
...I sometimes stop at the churchyard at the top of the hill. I can see for miles in a number of directions, and it's interesting to walk through the graveyard and read the aging headstones. I sit on the big boulder with an inscription that says there's a time capsule buried beneath...and drink my coffee. Acrylic and pencil on unprimed Whatman paper 10 x 13.75 inches, image size 8.75 x 12 inches.https://www.etsy.com/shop/paintbox

Evening Walkout
While the whole business of making a picture rests upon formal means, the picture is never a type of pure abstraction. The picture is always about something in my world.

May Blue
...gorgeous days of early May....evening cloud dalliance over the winter wheat field. Acrylic collage painting on heavy archival paper 11 x 15 inches, image size 10 x 11 inches.
This work started with the top sheet of blue, which had a hole in it due to a tearing of the paper.....you can see that tear just to the left of the cloud at center....it was very important to have that tear there....it pleased me to no end.
This one was also recorded in video and it's on YouTube....but unfortunately, the background music was muted. Type Harry Stooshinoff into YouTube search for all my process videos.

2 paintings from the end of April
This is always such a bittersweet time. Spring is very special and the early stage especially seems to hold so much promise. The cool days that reveal the first bits of growth are to be savoured....full heat arrives quickly enough.
There is video footage documenting the last stages of each of these paintings on YouTube. https://youtu.be/iVZTwFvBEs4 Or...just type in Harry Stooshinoff into the YouTube search bar and you'll see a large selection.

April Morning
