dan's painting's ... a woodworker does color

ok ... i've been fooling around with this stuff

now for a couple years and i am ready to let it out of the bag ...

i like color!  

woodworking, there's not so much.  you've got

your different woods, your lights and your darks, your curlies

and your burls and other oddities, but the tones are earthy, and after a while,

they sort of blend and you find yourself fussing with subtle variations of brown

over and over and over.  red brown, green brown, light brown, dark brown ...

where are the cadmium reds and oranges, the cerulean blues?

you can't find them in the wood pile ...

so, off to the right there is a new page with a link to a slideshow

of my paintings, only some of which are shown here.  you can see all of them

at this link  i've got a million of em ...

trust me, this is just the beginning.  i am inspired not only

by my friend horst , a multidisciplined creator if ever there was one, but also by reading recently

on the mid century americans, motherwell, johns, diebenkorn, krasner, frankenthaler, o'keefe ...

you get the idea ... 

i plan to add to this post, which will also be accessible from the 'dan's paintings' page 

once it leaves 'home'

enjoy, comment, criticize ... i am open to your thoughts ..

ps .. it looks like you may have to sign into your google account to view the slideshow
ever since they ditched picasa, i have been having trouble sharing new slide shows
my sincere apologies ...
