What happens next? Mark Yearwood will show you...

"Abstract possibilities are endless...and after each mark is made on the substrate, I have to make a decision of what comes next.  In realism, you know where the painting will (or should) end up. This is the part of my work that is the most thrilling to me. What happens next?" - Mark Yearwood

Oklahoma abstract artist Mark Yearwood will be at Lovetts Gallery painting live and large on Saturday, February 25th from 10:00 to 5:00.  Many of you have become familiar with Mark Yearwood and his very distinct style over the last year, including his 12"x12" series, which remains in a constant state of SOLD OUT!  Well, it's time for you to see, in person, what exactly goes into the creation of Mark's emotive work.  His demonstration promises to dazzle and amaze with the creation of a large scale piece, possibly replete with drop cloths and hairdryers?!?!

So, mark your calendar for this live painting demonstration!Saturday, February 25th, 10:00-5:00

In addition to Mark's live paint, he will be exhibiting as many new works as he can bring with him!

 

More from Mark Yearwood:

I grew up in rural Oklahoma working early on my Grandfather's farm. Good old fashioned gritty, hard work. Later, I worked with my Dad in his custom auto shop where I eventually learned to pinstripe and letter cars. There was more gritty, hard work involved there as well!

I went on to develop a graphic arts career which spannned over 25 years with appearances in major industry publications and awards, all the while experimenting with various art projects. One day, out of the blue, I purchased some palette knives, acrylic paints, and some canvas to try my hand at abstract art. I immediately became amazed at how great it felt to express my own original thoughts to substrate. 

My textural work reflects the "grittiness" of working in nature and the structural elements come into play from my design backgound.  As for color?  Well, it may sound cliche, but I truly just paint what I feel inside.
