Tasmanian Tiger (work in progress)

Almost finished with another in the Forgotten Dreams Series. I recently saw a film with this extinct animal as an integral part of the film. One can find footage of the last of the "tigers" from the 1930's. They were not tigers at all. More closely related to Tasmanian Devils, they look more like a dog with a giant mouth, striped, a tail like a kangaroo and a marsupial to boot.

Navajo Daydreams Series: XI

This series of abstract paintings was inspired by the colors of the American Southwest.

Forgotten Dreams Series: Cave Walls

This is one of an ever expanding series of paintings called "Forgotten Dreams". I was inspired by cave paintings from all over the world. I used lots of texture to lend the work the look and feel of stone. I used charcoal and dry pigments to lend an air of authenticity to the work. I am amazed at the sophistication of our ancient ancestors and the beauty of their work that still survives.

Somersville Bridge, Maine 24x36

This is a painting of Somersville Bridge in Maine. My mom went with some of her friends a few years ago in the fall. Her photos inspired this painting.

Morning Aspens

This painting is rendered on a 30x40x.5 canvas making it easy to frame. It was inspired by one of my trips to New Mexico.

Last Sunset in Columbus

On my easel. Needs a few touches.

Retro Abstract I

The first of a series of 1960's inspired abstracts.

...it is winter here... 36x36 Oil on canvas Mark Malone

This is another in my series of aspen paintings. My first winter scene. This was done on an extra thick(almost 3") gallery wrapped canvas.

"Conception" 24x24 x3 Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

I seem to be gravitating towards abstracts of late. This was done on a 3" thick canvas with the edges painted black.

Work in Progress 72"x48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Just a few more touches and this piece will be finished.

Twilight in the Canyon 24x30...Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

I used a much looser, impressionistic style than is my custom for this piece. I had a vague notion of what I wanted to capture and just squeezed out some of my favorite colors and let my brush take me to uncharted waters.

Purple Sage: Late Summer Twilight

Palette knife frenzy. Loved this excursion into uncharted waters.

Aspen Cathedral 48x72 Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

This is the first of a series of Aspen paintings that I am working on. I now have 5 and see no end in sight. I love painting big! This piece will be on display at One Artist Road Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe soon. It is framed in a simple blonde wood shadow box.
