St. Louis Paintings
Oil on Canvas: 24"x28" each
Note: By the nature of creating, the artist is transferring a MOOD to the art work. Intensifying MOOD in art is a matter of choosing color, shape, line, form or theme that will bring the mood to the forefront. These St. Louis paintings are cubistic in the cut up areas. They are also Expressionistic in the the choice of colors and the repetition of design elements and shapes.

Body of Work:
Western Landscape Paintings
Years of work and many struggles have gone into this series.
On my own, driving into the setting sun as I see the borders of my dreams. The narrow strip of pavement sparkles in the daylight far ahead.
The paintings above are all oil on canvas. Most are about 24"x28"
Some have been sold and some are available for purchase.
Note: This series has taken more than a decade and it continues. Some themes are lifelong. They continue because they are entwined with the person.

Cubistic Landscape Paintings
In my cubistic landscapes, the form is the essence. No longer is the image recognition important. It's all about breaking up space and molding to something new. Cubism takes many directions, it can be completely abstract or the image may be still there just changed to a barely recognizable object. Obviously, these paintings are expressionistic as well as cubistic.

St. Louis PaintingsBoth of these Cubistic paintings were painted in the Summer/Fall/Winter of 2002. That year I found some old photos of South St. Louis way back in the "good old days" and the idea began. The memory of St. Louis is probably glorified but nevertheless, painting it was fun. Check Page Three 2004 Paintings for a recent addition.
Jazz PaintingsThis series was started in 1999. I had an idea of trying to create the excitement I felt for the Friday night, Saturday night, off of work for the weekend, jazz club feeling. Many are professionally framed and available for purchase at the Creative Eye Gallery, 1004 South Gaylord St., Denver, Co. 80209, 303-774-6959. Check 2004 Paintings for recent additons.
Wine GlassesIn 1993 a glass blower gave me some wine glasses. I started drawing them. Sometime in the mid 90's I started painting them. I had planned to paint one every year but have lost the inspiration for the past year or two. In the beginning, it had to do with my life, a metaphor and as time went on whatever it meant has become a closed chapter or has it? A friend just recently remarked, "The teapots are the NEW wineglasses." Yes, there is a new series in the works...teapots. Many years ago I saw a show at the Denver Art Museum of Georgia O'Keefe's small paintings. They were impressive as a group. I had already started the wine glasses and for me the O'Keefe show was an "Ah Ha" moment. As a group small paintings are impressive. The wine glasses are hanging in my house as a group.
LandscapeThese paintings have come to me over the years, 1990's and 2000's. It had to do with road trips and hiking. I paint strictly from imagination because I'm not trying to capture ABSOLUTE realism but rather,what I remember, experience and feel. Some can be seen at Creative Eye, 1004 South Gaylord St. in Denver (80209). You can contact Larry at 303-774-6959.
