Artist of July: What is DP Warner doing now?

I won't lie, this has been so much fun for me. DP is one of my greatest friends and influences. The conversations he and I have had about painting and music have been epic. Some have been knock down and drag out, all have been beneficial to me as an artist who just wants to learn and learn and learn.

​Last week we looked at his work abstracting views and vantage points in the landscape. This led to work he does today incorporating 'abstractions' in more traditional landscape painting. The boat scene above is a studio painting done on a day DP said he was missing the water. Growing up along the coast these scenes were everywhere. He and I talked about how these traditional "scapes" are everywhere in small art shops in New England. But that said, these are not so typical of that genre. DP's abstractions of the landscape influence these more traditional compositions. Mark making assembled in patterns that become a scene. The boat scene below is a little older, but you can see in the reflection in the water much of the same observational abstractions in his earlier works.

DP doesn't miss too many days of painting whether it is in the studio or out in the field. He is a painter who works hard everyday and I'm lucky to share a studio with him. I get to see many of these in progress and usually the first to see them finished. Below are some of the most recent pieces. The last one on the bottom of this post is actually still wet as I am typing this out and DP is in the back room building a frame for it.
