Painted in late fall of last year,

“Crows In Slow Motion” has a storyboard and collage style composition meant to invite the viewer to create their own story from the visuals . It has gotten some great observations and comments. Which I consider to be a goal achieved. 36x36in acrylic and charcoal, and graphite. Currently available, DM for details and info.

Working on graphics ideas that could be used for album covers or bills. This has a bit of a retro vibe, dare I say a little Barney Bubbles influence?

might make some prints of it.

Introducing “Fresh Phosphenes”, the third small works painting from a new series of paintings on paper.

For this series, I gave myself a strict time limit and limited resources to create a new work of art. The hope was that these limitations would kickstart the creative process, deter overthinking, and keep me in the moment.

The paintings in this series were not touched up or added to after the time limit, when time ran out, the work stopped and the painting was considered finished.

Other recently released paintings from this series are, “Teal Denial”, and “Remote Corners”. Check them out on my Artwork Archive portfolio and the link in my bio.

I will be unveiling my new painting, “Fresh Phosphenes” this Friday.

Sure, I think about sales. What’s on my mind mostly though, is “does this painting represent who I am?” For me, it’s a lot to think about, a lot to consider. 🔷 #piecewithartist #artist #traditionalartwork #artquote #quote #betruetoyourself #paintings #artcollector #wscranmore #pdx #pnwartist (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVsGrqLQ6P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maybe it’s because I’m looking forward to spring and the colors in this painting remind me of wildflowers, that’s why I’m posting this one. Plus, I dig the painting. 🔷 #painting #fineart #artgallery #artcollector #geometric #abstract #instaart #art #traditionalart #artandmusic #chorus #happysundayeveryone #wscranmore (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQu68tvs0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Teal Denial is from a new 14x11” series of paintings on paper. For this series, I gave myself a strict time limit and limited resources to create a new work of art. The purpose of these limitations was to prompt new ideas, to create without overthinking, and to stay in the moment. They were not touched up or added to after the time limit, when time ran out, work stopped. 🔷 #artseries #paintingsonpaper #tealovers #expressionismart #galeriadearte #artblogger #abstractwork #abstracters_anonymous #contemporaryartcollection #dailypainter #collectableart #artforum #abstractpainter #painting #wscranmore #pdx #seattle #sanfrancisco (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN93rsrWc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Pareidolia” (2020), 11x14” acrylic on paper, framed. A small works painting. “W.S. Cranmore’s artworks are known for their distinctive geometric patterns, bold lines and borders, and nontraditional composition. At the intersection of Expressionism, Geometric Abstraction and Pop Art, W.S. Cranmore’s artworks meld early modernist with later post-modernist influences. His art invites subjective interpretation, emotional introspection and personal appreciation, telling personal stories and re-imagining memories in a uniquely unconventional way. W.S. Cranmore’s approach to Art is to let the image come to him and for the image to evolve through a completely abstract process – led by emotions and feelings evoked by music.” 🔷 #hanshofmann #franzkline #helenfrankenthaler #joanmitchell #jeanfautrier #cytwombly #dorothyfratt #robertrauschenberg #robertmotherwell #richarddiebenkorn #dekooning #paulklee #pareidolia #arthistory #collector #modernart #galleryart #artnxtlevel #abstract #wscranmore (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJmoxBvBBE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been working off and on with this painting for over a month now. After reassessing where it’s at, I think I’m only about halfway through. It’ll get there though. A little bit at a time. 🔷 #intheworks #workinprogressart #painting #artoftheday🎨 #artistinstudio #sneakpeek #contemporaryartist #modernartist #wscranmore #pdx #pnwart #artshare (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqI0i59J2i4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
