Andrew Crane, John Luckett and a Fire Painting

I like to look at Brit Andrew Crane's work that he publishes on his blog.  This morning I was thinking I hadn't seen anything new for a while, wondering if he was on vacation or what...sure enough in my inbox is a notification of a new post...and not just one, but TWO paintings that are 12 feet tall and 7 feet wide...no, he was not on vacation....
I like to look at Andrew Crane and John Luckett, who works nearby in the Joshua Tree area, because their work is wonderful to me, and they are producing abstract expressionist work on flat surfaces, which is my primary interest.  Very inspiring.


So I continue to paint...here is the most recently completed painting:

BURNING OF STRAW DOGS

oil on canvas    48" x 36"
