W.S. Cranmore

This is one of about 5 or 6 works in progress that have been taking their own sweet time to emerge. Even though sessions are sporadic I feel positive. They’re taking a slow approach and I’m along for the ride.

Still Life With Asterisk

October 2025

#art #abstract #painting #wscranmore

Had a nice time at the Robin Becic Gallery opening reception.
the exhibition runs through December, make plans to stop in. A 48 x 36” painting makes a great stocking stuffer! Gallery hours are at @robinbecicgallery or,make an appointment to stop in. Who doesn’t love a private viewing, right?

“Pareidolia” has been with me long enough to become an old friend. It helped me find my path as an artist, and taught me about who I am and what I want to say with my art. I would love to see it move on to a collection where it will be appreciated, but, I will certainly miss it when it goes.

The area I work in. I pass these buildings everyday.

This weekend is a perfect opportunity to visit Robin Becic Gallery in downtown Portland, OR
If you can’t make it, you have another chance Oct. 25th for the opening reception.

#portlandoregon #artexhibition

Two works currently in progress. Both were started in early September. I work on them off and on and am in no rush, both feel to me they will take their own time to develop.

Happy to introduce my ninth painting of 2025. Created in solitude, locked in to ambient music. A very enjoyable experience.

Thank you, hope you have fun with it!

In the studio/garage. Wondering what comes next for these two as I work on a third.

Because of the metallics in the painting, it has a different appearance depending on the time of day, light source, and angle it’s viewed from. It’s always been a challenge to photograph it, so see it in person.

Thank you!

Current look at a larger scale work in progress. After studying this picture for awhile, I’ve set a sort of course for the sessions to come. Can’t wait to see the results.

Finished in March, this marks my fourth completed piece of the year.
Though some might see flags in the imagery, that wasn't my focus. If flags are what you see, May they be flags of unity and celebration, not division and separation.

No Singer Is A Doctor

A work in progress that still seems to be at the beginning.

From a series of paintings seeking the profound in simple lines and patterns.

In the spring of 2024 I made a series of 10 paintings on black paper. The purpose was purely to experiment and have fun. Mission accomplished.
