"Into the Blue"

My latest. "Into the Blue" 36" X 48" Acrylic on canvas and canvas on canvas.

"Magnanimous Pour"

This painting represents a bit of a departure for me. Basically I set out to chase color and energy in the tradition of the New New Painters. This relatively small piece measures 24" X 24" X 2.5" . Acrylic on Sanded Birch panel. This is most likely the last painting I will finish before I "roll up the tent" for the summer and head north to my studio in New York.

New Barn/Studio

We have a barn. Still more to do next summer to finish it up. We will add more windows in both gable ends and on the front left side facing the pond. We also hope to add a ten foot "bump out" shed addition for a framing area and a small solar array with led lighting. In any case we made a lot of progress this summer. We started clearing trees and doing the site week the 4th of July weekend. The following week we began prepping for the concrete slab. Our heartfelt thanks to our son Kevin Abbott II and Ken Doria of Ken Doria Construction. Also Karl Hoyt for help with the site work.
