Abstract Landscape, Cubist Painting: Road Trip
Painting to Print Project:
I will have a photographer create giclee prints of paintings shown on this page if there is interest.

My first Painting Instructor: Oliver Jackson, Abstract Expressionist
“I get tired of people asking me what I think about my work,” he says. “What am I supposed to say? I think it’s great shit – I made it, why wouldn't I say that? But what weight does that have to you? Not very much. You have to experience the work and I don’t want to get in the way by telling you what I think.” So, I’m going to respect that and let you draw your own conclusions." Oliver Jackson.
Jackson was an interesting person as well as a very good art instructor. As an abstract expressionist he had a lot to offer his students. Coming right from high school with all my restrictions, it was a revelation on so many levels. The painting philosophy in the crazy art room was to loosen up, let go, don't take it all so seriously and trash it if it doesn't work. I flew with the careless freedom and thrived.
The crazy art room in a deserted restaurant housed a sculpture by Ernie Trova, an altered door, that the artist had thrown out. One of our students or professors snagged it and it hung at our entry. It was a statement of who we were.
