INLET POINT
11 x 14
acrylic on stretched canvas
$89 - available at russpotak.etsy.com

I particularly like this piece, because it was totally a spontaneous work,
formulated from a visual image in my mind, from one of the many visits to our New England coastline.

Some days I just feel like pushing paint around. I don't really care that it ends up as something, or not, but the process is just simply rewarding. Its kind of like when your at the beach and just wiggle your toes in the sand. There is a therapeutic quality to it all. Subjectivity is not all its cracked up to be. Sometimes a painting is just a painting.

TABLE FOR SIX
Acrylic on Canvas

When I painted this, I wanted the lilacs all get together in this table arrangement. Like they were a family.
The bowl of fruit adds a bit of change to keep the composition lively.
I love the amber and rust tones throughout the painting.
This one of of many, of my Flower series paintings that I worked on with a passion.
