Sunday Selection-Diane McGregor

Diane McGrgor Installation View at Smink in Dallas "The Mediative Surface"

 When I think of the time I have spent in the Southwest I think of vast horizons, openness, and peace. This Sunday Selection features New Mexico artist Diane McGregor. There is a real meditative minimalist approach to the work that I really love. Diane uses the color white in a soft luminous way. Diane writes about her approach and work on her blog www.dianemcgregor.blogspot.com See more of Diane's work  here.

E Sheppell Blue Stripe Study on Brown

 I think this is a beautiful blue pattern that reminds me of a farm field from above.

Sunday Selection-Steven Alexander

I have admired Steven Alexander's paintings for a long time. I am of course drawn to the luminous-mesmerizing color use and the lush tactile quality of the surfaces. Steven writes an informative art journal  www.stevenalexanderjournal.blogspot.com. He covers shows in NYC and his happenings in the studio.
Enjoy this Sunday and see more of Steven's bold work at www.stevenalexanderstudio.blogspot.com
