What’s shakin’ at Rodzart 9-5-2009

Hi folks. I hope everyone has had a good week.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog, for which I apologize, seems like some weeks I just can’t think of too much to say.
To be honest, I’ve never liked talking about myself that much, and I guess that somewhat hampers my abilities of self-promotion.

I have finished some new paintings, Expression 945, a predominately black painting; ; Expression 947, which is a really nice painting, particularly if you like blue. I think this one would look nice behind a sofa; ;
Expression 949 is an expression of earth tones; ; and lastly Vert, a green on green; .

Let me just mention again, most of the time I don’t put a descriptive title on my paintings. In non-representational art, (art that is not a picture of something), what the painting is, or what it means is decided by each individual viewer. What I see in a painting, and what you see can be quite different. When I’m painting, I’m working toward a rhythm and harmony in color and application, not really am image. I don’t just throw paint at a canvas and see what happens. Non-representational art is not for everyone, I’m afraid some people will never be able to just look at a painting long enough to let the painting take them where it will. No biggie to me, just to don’t condemn it because you don’t like it, or can’t understand the concept.

I’ve got three paintings in progress this week and I hope to have them finished and photographed by the end of next week.

I sold Expression 554 last week to a collector in Australia. That means I have a painting hanging on every continent except Asia and Antarctica. Not to shabby.
