Sunday Selection-Vincent Romaniello

Vincent Romaniello is a busy artist. He is a  multi-media artist (painting, video, sculpture, and installations).
I have featured some of Vincent's recent paintings. Check out all his works on his website. It is an impressive  body of work. Also check out his Archives section. There is a long history of work there as well.

Vincent also writes an informative blog that covers shows in NYC and Philly www.romanblog2.blogspot.com

Stop and Go

 It's funny how some paintings take months or years to complete and then some come so quickly. Here are a few new works. They are pieces I started over a year ago with  many layers and never finished. I put them away and recently finished them in a fury. Sometimes it takes a new energy and break to release them.

E Sheppell 2011 "Karma" 24x 36 acrylic on panel

E Sheppell 2011 "Between You and Me" 36x24 acrylic on panel

E Shepell 2011 "I Found Cowboy Alone" 36x24 acrylic on panel

Sunday Selection- Laura Fayer

Laura Fayer's use of color and line is really lovely. Laura's cohesive body work of work mixes painting and layering. Some of the materials used are rice paper and over-sized rubber stamps.  I love the mark marking she creates with her use of  these materials. They have a organic ease to them. Perfect for a dreamy Sunday.

Structures & Paint

I have been busy in the studio working on some works on paper. I am thinking about taking some pieces and mounting them on panels. I love the textures I can achieve and the feeling of painting on paper, I always have. I have rolls of large works I did years ago that I found cleaning the studio. I have always had a "thing" for paper. It's just a structure I always go back to. I have also returned recently to working on canvas. I have been working on panels for the past few years almost exclusively. Going back to canvas is interesting. It has a give that the panels do not. I am enjoying it. I will have to see where all the different structures lead me this year. Below are all new works on three different structures....
