To make the abstract (which is around 24" x 36"), my rule of thumb is to do my best to make the colors and shapes somehow "fit" organically without giving in to the desire to make the shapes and forms "representational," I inevitably will see things that resemble objects or familiar images. Some of those I may allow to stay in the final depending on how they work together with the rest of the piece.

Playing with shapes and colors, Bonno chuckles when he explains to Janice Bremec Blum that he loves the “f…k it factor.” Basically, that means going mad in his own world and giving himself permission to be loose. That freeing spirit is found in all of Bonno’s work. “I don’t leave a painting until I believe in it” he says, “until it impresses me.”

I would be up late, take a break from painting and then brainstorm. Situations for tomatoes, odd places you might not find them, personifying events with tomatoes... what painting would be next?

Then an idea would make me laugh and I would suss it out to see if I thought it was a strong laugh... then run inside, sketch and plan it out or paint it.

ART REVIEW of Sea Otter and Family photo by Fine Art photographer Greg Tucker

I started taking photos--when I was made to select an art in Junior High school--but have been seriously into photography for about 20 years. Probably not a conscious decision but since I don't particularly enjoy being IN photographs, being the one taking the photos manages to keep me out of the frame.

The bridge over the Virgin River, in Zion National Park, is a popular spot to catch the beautiful red cliffs and winding river. This painting captures all the drama and magnificence of this amazing vista. The oil paint was thickly applied with a brush, the impressionsitic colors melding together to capture the fleeting light of dawn.
