Room E Studio: Another Great Workshop
http://roomestudio.blogspot.com/2015/04/another-great-workshop.html
Thursday, April 2, 2015. Last weekend I went to R&F Paints. In Kingston, NY for an oil stick, er pardon me, pigment stick. Workshop with Lisa Pressman. If you aren't familiar with Lisa Pressman. She is a terrific artist who works in both oil and encaustic. She has an exhibit in both media right now at the gallery at R&F. Lisa is one of those rare people who is both gifted at making art and coaching others. Oil stick and graphite on prepared paper. More of the larger pieces to come. Joanne Mattera Art Blog.

Room E Studio
http://roomestudio.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-end-begins-again-2014-acrylic-and.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The End Begins Again. Acrylic and graphite on mylar. Seemed like an appropriate thought and image as one year passes to another. I did this in November at a workshop with Tim Hawkesworth. But it was actually without. Tim Hawkesworth as he was busy in the hospital recovering from a heart attack. It was an intense and bewildering time for all involved. As for shows, I've got one piece, and older one, in the back gallery at Oxbow Gallery. My solo show at The Center at Eagle Hill.

Room E Studio: The Intersection of Art and Buddhism
http://roomestudio.blogspot.com/2015/04/singing-bowls-2015-20x16-oil-on-panel.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. The Intersection of Art and Buddhism. Singing bowls are used in meditation, yoga and healing. Technically they are a kind of bell which stands rather than hangs. They can be struck with a wooden mallet or, to produce their unique singing sound, the rim is rubbed to create vibration (like running your finger around a crystal goblet). This painting is more about the vibration than the form of the bowls. Buddhas Over Worcester (BOW, get it? Yes, I have a piece in the show.

Room E Studio: R&F Paints' Pigment Sticks
http://roomestudio.blogspot.com/2015/04/not-yet-titled-2015-oil-and-graphite-on.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. R&F Paints' Pigment Sticks. Oil and graphite on panel. This is one of the pieces I made at R&F Paints at a recent workshop. It is a metamorphosis of a painting I started last summer in a workshop with Tim Hawksworth. I say metamorphosis because like an insect, it bares little resemblance to its previous (larval? State, but I know what's in there and that it lead me to this place. When listing materials, I do not differentiate between tube oils and oil sticks. LOVE the look and the...

Room E Studio
http://roomestudio.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-way-out-2015-oil-on-canvas-24x16-i.html
Saturday, March 7, 2015. I was hesitant to post this one, as I think it reads quite different (better) in person. It has subtle coloration, many layers, and a rich, textual surface. If you click on it you might get a better sense. It started life as a really poor attempt at plein air panting last fall. I turned it 45 degrees, threw a lot of paint at it, and finally found something I found interesting. Oddly enough, I still get a sense of landscape from it. Maybe it is just the paint fumes talkin'!
