Two of my “Earth Tree” series paintings have been accepted to the Artist Council Inaugural Exhibition of the Huntington Beach Art Center. My latest one in the series is shown above, which has a more expressionist development and vibrant palette. The warm tones dominate over the cool blue-green base, with a strong broadside of light and heat from the left. I would be pleased to see you at the opening or at the artists’ talk evening. Below are the details of show and my art statement for the Earth Tree series.
I also add a note of good news about my other current show at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. At the Sept. 20 opening, I received a first place award in painting (third overall) for the three Earth Tree paintings in that show.

ART STATEMENT – EARTH TREE SERIES
Big trees have long inspired humans beyond the utilitarian resources they provide. Their spirit is uplifting; they grow in annual cycles, becoming massive, towering and long lived wonders. There is extraordinary strength in their limbs and branches, and yet they rhythmically move with the wind. Each is unique, yet is constantly changing with time and season. They thrive with earth, water and sun to benefit man and the environment, and symbolically they join the earth with the sky. In my Cubist and expressionistic painting style, I paint abstractions of these qualities of trees.

Lately I am doing sketchbook drawings of natural settings around my home, and will show 12 of these beginning October 1st for three months at the Back Bay Muth Center in Newport Beach. If you get a chance to go visit the center, it is in a beautiful wild area not far from the beach. It is off Irvine Ave at University.

I am searching for the sacred in every day, and finding it with the help of color and shape.
Sometimes my dog and I walk in the Back Bay, and I notice the changes in the seasons and weather, and the activities of the wildlife. Birds are my favorites. I carry a clipboard, archival papers, and some Portfolio Crayons that dissolve in water. Later in my studio I finish each image by adding water and other colors. When I was a teenager I began working with images of Nature, and still I am inspired by what is revealed. jartms@att.net
