Happy to say I have 10 paintings in the Dennos Museum shop for sale, value priced. Reflecting my recent painting on loan, they are my colorful abstracts based on our northern Michigan landscape, with strong music based influences. T W Th 1-5.
Created for the
performance of the Marcus Belgrave Jazz Concert Recently entered the Permanent Collection of the Dennos Museum.
"You'll
KnowWhen You Get There" ...from
Herbie Hancock... 5' X 15' acrylic
in the Milliken Auditorium of the Dennos Museum on April 13, 1996.
At the
invitation of jazz musician Jeff Haas I painted “You’ll Know When You Get
There” in 1996 to compliment the jazz music of the Marcus Belgrave Quintet,
to
be displayed above the band at Milliken Auditorium. The title is from Herbie
Hancock.
Starting
a fifteen foot piece with no preconceived intention, I reached down deep to
create this, not knowing I would return to this source more than twenty years
later.
Drawing
from: my long time listening to, and playing, jazz and creative instrumental
improvisational music, the Bitches Brew fusion esthetic of Miles Davis, Herbie
Hancock, Weather Report,
and the ongoing rich musical legacy of Detroit, my home for 45 years, this musical color composition involves harmony, dissonance, rhythm, calm, tension, motion, rest, and balance,
using improvisation over an
intended or discovered structure. This painting led to my current color harmony
paintings based in part on the music on the 1100 albums of the European
creative music label ECM.

Ron was born in Detroit
and attended The Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts,
later Center for Creative Studies. He has had many solo and
juried group shows as well as commissions. His work is a unique
artistic vision in a contemporary style, embodying the essential
mystery and spiritual beauty of nature and the human psyche.
"Rather than depict the specific, I use veils of color in a personal,
poetic manner using a harmony of forms from observed, created, and
remembered sources. I paint with enough content that the mind and
imagination are pleased and with enough literal image that the eye is
also satisfied. Hopefully, my art conveys a sense of art spirit,
balance, and beauty."
