I believe art should tell a story. Even in abstract art. My paintings are mostly abstract that is true. In art, however, there are buildings, people, cars and many other items that make our lives better and interesting.
By the use of these and of bright and beautiful colors, you can see a new panting everyday, everytime you look at it.
Sincerely,
Ted

The Weather is changing and we are getting into the Fall. It is a good time to see Art. We can do this at Art Galleries, Museums and of course online.
Everywhere we look we see bright, beautiful colors. My paintings also reflect the beauty of our world.
At this time I would like to let my collectors know that I am also an art consultant. This enables me to help in your choosing art for beauty and value.
Happy Collecting,

Itt has been a long time since I posted on my blog.
I had a hip replacement at the beginning of April, 2023 and have been recuperating.
I’d like to thank my family, friends and collectors for the support, cards and letters I have received.
I will be working on wall groupings of 4 or more paintings in acrylic and gauche.
Great to be back to work.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
It has been a while since I have posted on my blog. However I am still busy creating new and exciting works of art.
My vision is to inspire those who are familiar with my website. My works are original paintings in guash, watercolor and oil.
My inspiration comes from every day life, having colors and vitality that lifts our spirits.
Please contact me if you have questions about my work.

My new art work is almost ready to post on my website. The subject I picked is similar to my Classic Modernism series.
They are bright and beautiful, just what we need in our lives, at this time. The paintings are gouache on paper. the size is 11” X 14’ framed in black or white and ready to hang.
I recommend getting 2 or 4 to make a wall cluster.
Happy Collecting,
Ted,
My new paintings, Classic Modernism, are doing quite well and my latest
series is now available. The name that I have chosen for this series is, Under and
Over exposure. The paintings are based on an experiment using instant film.
In this series 15 of the paintings are done on water color paper using alcohol
markers. Four are done using acrylic on canvas. They range in a variety of sizes.
The colors are bright and beautiful, to lift our spirits and imagination.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
My new paintings are now available. In this series of paintings I focus on the modern cities and towns. Thus the title Classic Modernism.
Each painting depicts a place we have lived in and the things that brings us happiness. Each painting is a discovery in itself, a microscopic part of our lives, through the years.
In Classic Modernism, I bring to my collectors the highest quality for your enjoyment. The paintings are bright and beautiful meant to uplift our spirits and happiness.
Hello Collectors,
This is the perfect time to look at and and enjoy our valuable and beautiful art collections with our loved ones, family and friends.
At present I am working on posting my latest artwork to my website. I have picked a name for it. It is entitled “Classic Modernism”.
I chose this name because the paintings, oil on canvas, are bright and beautiful and can pick up our spirits and brighten our day.
Look for them to be posted, on my website, in the coming months.
Happy collecting,
Ted
As I mentioned in my last blog, my newest work on The Constructionism theme. The City Modern, is
almost finished. The 10” and 20” are complete.
I have three more painting on the 12” canvas, which would make a total of 20 new works.
I am very excited by their beautiful colors and thoughtful composition and I am sure you will
enjoy them as much as I did painting them.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
I haven’t posted anything on my blog since the Coronavirus shut most things down. However, I have been busy, in my studio, creating new works of art.
The new series is called “The City Modern”. They depict the colorful and thought provoking scenes we have all seen or traveled through.
The sizes are 20 X 20 and 10 X 10. They are oil on canvas and gallery wrapped. These paintings will bring joy and brighten our spirits during these difficult times.
Please stay safe and happy collecting.
Ted
I’m hanging in there with you and many others during this, the worst crisis in our lifetime. The Corona virus has forced us , my family and probably yours, to go into quarantine. For us it has been 3 or 4 weeks.
Personally I have been busy. I have completed 3 new oil paintings in the Constructivism style. Two are 10” square and three, when they are completed, will be 20” square.
I hope to get our to more galleries when this crisis is over.
In the meantime stay well.
Your artist and friend,
Ted
As I mentioned in my last blog, I have been dealing with health problems, which are in the healing stages. I would like to say this. No matter what your particular problem is, with faith, courage and a loving mate, you can get through it. Don”t give up.
Many great artists went through health problems. One that comes to mind is Henri Matisse. He produced some of his greatest works late in life.
I would like to say this about my work, having lived in New York for a number of years, my work took on a New York style. So if you have any question about what my paintings mean, please let me know by email and I will be happy to explain.
Happy Collecting

This is to bring you up to date.
My life has been busy with my cordless light sculptures and my series on precisionism, which I hope to download to my website soon. Just let you know you can view my artwork on the Davidson College website.
I have been dealing with health problems lately. A hip replacement and a vein infection on the same leg. But I am now up and back to designing new artwork and sculptures to bring to you, my collectors.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
It’s been a while since my last blog. I have been busy creating new art work based on The Precisionism concept.
I have been limited in my mobility. I am due to have a hip replacement on September 9th. After that I will be as good as new and eager to continue.
Until Then,
Happy Collecting
Ted
I was just reminded this is the 100th anniversary of De Stijl and Constructivism. I have personally added new ideas to these two art forms by the use of color and design moving them into the 21st century where they belong.
I hope you enjoy my paintings and will purchase them for their beauty and collecting value.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
Just a few notes to bring you up to date on my latest creations
They are ready made sculptures. They are one of a kind art works consisting of small houses, animals and lamps. I am combining new and innovative ideas in this field. The colors are bright and beautiful. Yellow, reds, orange and euro blue.
I will be posting pictures of some of them on the web site in the coming weeks.
Happy Collecting,
Ted
It’s been a while since my last blog. Since then much has happened. I closed down my one man show at Gallery 206 in Mooresville, N.C. The show was very successful with many collectors able to see and collect my art and sculptures.
At present I am working on my new series “Precisionism”. These new works are done in chalk pastel, water color and ink. They will be posted to my web site.
Happy Colloecting,
Ted
It has been a while since we have talked. I have a new show called "Art of the Century" at
Gallery 206 Main Street, N. C. In this show two of my larger wall sized paintings will be on view.
"The Big Chill" is 4 1/2 feet by 5 1/2 feet. "Telephoto is 4 1/2 feet by 5 feet.
While The Big Chill is totally abstract, Telephoto tells a story, both ave very impressive
in color and design.
The paintings are priced at $6,000 for The big Chill and $5,000 for Telephoto.

It has been a while since my last blog. The Flu bug did not miss us.
I am now energized and have a new show at Gallery 206 Main Street Mooresville, N. C.
The new show is entitled DeStijl II. Although the art movement is 100 years old, my work is
current with what is happening in the world right now.
Two of the artist from that period are Piet Mondrian and Theo Vandoosberg.
