If you are interested in purchasing an original, please send me an e-mail so we can discuss shipping and tax (since Colorado’s sales tax laws are extremely complicated). You will also find paintings that are part of my private collection or aesthetically inclined friends’ collections under “Artist’s pick”. If you want to purchase a print instead of an original, visit my artist’s page at saatchi art.
The prices here are for direct sales from the site. If the piece is being displayed at a gallery or show, I will indicate this.
About acrylic and graphite wash on paper
The graphite washes I use resemble watercolors that have been toned down a bit. Because of their base consisting of soluble graphite, the colors have a grayish tinge when applied to the paper. Once the water “activates” them, though, many of them become quite vibrant.
The small stormscape on the left is a good example of this phenomenon.
Acrylic paints dry quickly enough on canvas and almost too quickly on paper. Using acrylics on paper is a great way to try out new compositions and color combinations for that very reason.
A note on the pictures of matted works: many look like they have dark outlines. That is not the case. Those are shadows caused by the mats. If you frame them or display them in the plastic sleeve I provide, the frame/sleeve presses the mat down, which greatly reduces the shadow effect.
Small acrylic and graphite wash pieces
These works generally sell for 20 to 40 dollars. I have selected a sampling to display here.
All of them are signed on the back, mounted, matted, and packed in an archival quality plastic sleeve for protection. The washes and some acrylics are 6″x9″ and are mounted to 9″x12″, and the smaller acrylics are 5″x7″ mounted to 8″x10″.
Large graphite wash pieces
These works are also signed on the back, mounted, matted, and encased in a sleeve for protection. The paintings are roughly 11″x15″ and matted to 16″x20″.
The two above are $150 matted.
These paintings are $95 and $135 matted.
These two paintings are shown sans mat but are available matted for $125.
