A New impressionistic style

4/22/2018

0 Comments

 
I have done some very loose, impressionistic paintings lately with lots of thickly applied paint and they seem to be popular, since they all sold out as soon as I showed them in public. One of them was a "collaboration" between me and my oldest son Troy, who also paints regularly in La Jolla. He started a view of Shell Beach and I finished it. We are titling our co-paintings "H2O" (Harman Squared Originals). This one is the first in the series.

Early Spring in Southern California

3/10/2018

0 Comments

 
After a dry winter, the rains finally came to our region. I painted in Borrego Springs in late January, then stuck to La Jolla for the next couple of months. I also received a large commission from a local couple who already have two of my paintings. Looking forward to my retirement from teaching this summer. Then I can devote more time to creating and promoting my work.

I am back at work as a high school art teacher, with Saturday mornings set aside for painting in La Jolla. I also made a trip to June Lake in the Eastern Sierras and made one painting -- but plan to do more soon.

I didn't get to paint as much as I usually do during my summer break, but I am pretty happy with the work I produced. And I am excited to be showing several recent pieces at a community gallery in the Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla.

Painting with Palette Knives!

9/10/2016

2 Comments

 
In the last couple of weeks I made four impasto-style paintings. I used palette knives instead of brushes and applied the paint in thick layers, trying to avoid too much detail. It was a lot of fun and I plan to do more of them soon.

    I generally produce about three or four new paintings every month. Not all of them end up on my website. If you see something that catches your eye, please contact me. They generally will sell within six months, some much sooner.
