92 x 50in (230 x  x 125cm) - oil on canvas - done in 2008 - this is the largest work we have ever seen by Lopez. It is stunning. And it works either vertically, or horizontally.

 

Pour and flow paintings evolved over many years from florals to landscape to more abstract expression. Lopez was moved by the impressions he created but stymied by the limitations of the canvas' flat surface. He discovered a new way of working with the pour and flow technique while on a trip to Santa Fe, N.M., where he happened upon the work of an artist who taught him to manipulate the canvas in unexpected ways. He spent the next few months learning the method of lifting, folding and waving the canvas, applying layer upon layer of color, to perfect his visions with dizzying results. Pour and flow is a method of painting in which paint is poured onto the canvas and gravity helps create images without the use of a single paintbrush.

His present pour and flow work was influenced by Paul Jenkins, a master pour and flow painter living in Paris, France. 

Ryan says "I choose the title of each piece at the end of creation or the name unfolds during the process of creation. Generally, I choose not to title what I see in my own mind. I prefer to choose an adjective or verb which exemplifies the energy of the piece. That way I do not identify the piece as I see it but rather leave it up to the observer to make that decision. I have always liked the look of watercolor and now I have been able to create that look on canvas. In 2008 I moved to South East Asia to pursue more (oriental design) in creation. Pieces like Butterfly and Oriental Garden were the beginnings of experimental paintings of an oriental theme".

However my love of nature and art, began and evolved from the beauty of the Mexico and South West deserts of America. "My work tends to mimic nature," he said. Jenkin's work is more abstract than mine, and I enjoy mimicking nature. Lopez rediscovered his passion for creating when he began experimenting with the pour and flow technique in the late 1990’s.

Working without thinking, in something of a trance-like state of being completely "present" in the moment, Lopez has created a body of work filled with ethereal images that, with few exceptions, seem to depict some of nature's most breathtaking scenes. With paintings bearing titles such as "Windstorm," "Slickrock" and "Fire and Ice," Lopez occasionally begins with an idea of what he wants to create. The unpredictable nature of paint pulled by gravity, however, often results in an entirely unexpected image. It is not uncommon for a single painting to be finished only after more than 20 layers of paint have been applied. With a drying period between applications, the pieces often take days from start to finish. "The canvas speaks back to me when I'm working," Lopez said. "The images depend on tood. The process of creating is where the passion is." This is for all the marbles; this time it's for passion," Lopez said. "I want to release myself from this tension and go into the freedom of pure creativity. I don't want to wait. I want to do it while I'm young."

Does the job!
Puts in the work! Knocked out my driveway no problem. Unsure about longevity but it’s great for a homeowner. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Adjustment is nice along with the guide plate.

Takes The Edge Off!
This is a decent product. If you are going to do a lot of edging, or want to do deep trenching to run conduit, etc. this is NOT the product you want. It is electric, so you are tethered to an outlet, and of course, the farther you go on extension cords, the less of the 12 amp juice you get. It also trenches to 1 1/2", which is OK, but not enough to dump conduit, etc. That said, this is a very good edger. Out of the box, it is minimal assembly. You connect the three pieces of the shaft, removing some edge tape from it, and inserting two metal bolts and plastic knobs, similar to most lawn mowers these days. Then you install the plastic handle with another bolt. That's it. For use, you have a lever which you pull up for edging and lower for trenching to adjust the group clearance. You also choose 1", 1/4", or 1 1/2" depth. Then you plug it in. There is a white line on top of the blade cover so you know where the blade is. You just pull the trigger to run the blade, or release the trigger to stop the blade. Be careful not to lose sight of your electric cord so you don't hit it! I edged along my driveway, about 50' on each side, as well as my front of my lawn, so another 85' along the lawn and the apron (both sides). That's over 350'. It cut through the grass and dirt easily. It struggled a couple of times, on some tough mounds of grass, but like any other tool, you don't force it when that happens, just back up and do that area again slowly. If you come too close to blacktop, Belgian block, stone, etc. you will see sparks so you will know. Just keep in mind, this is an edger. You will be left with the severed grass/sod to remove. In my case I was loooong overdue for a edging, so I spent a long time scraping the sod off the pavement with a shovel. I expect with more frequent ending, and now working with a cleaner edge, this will be less of an issue. Either way, that is not on the product, but the state of the lawn. The edger has 2 read wheels and one smaller front wheel so , although this is not like a big, gas-powered curb jumping unit, you have the option of attacking a curb edge from either the blade side or other side of the edger, so you can get real close to a Belgian block curb. I also did the edge where my grass meets my mulched flower bed, but that was more of a trimming than a edge removal. Overall, the Work edger did as good, or better, a job than my string trimmer, and I didn't have to stop every few minutes to rewrap string. Plus it trenched enough to give me a definitive edge, whereas the string edger just cuts into the grass, not a real trench.

Easy to use for a clean looking cut!
I do wish there was a cordless version but I'm so glad I bought this. It took some time to edge everything the first time because I had to cut the lines but it's been a breeze ever since. I just walk the perimeter of the yard and driveway and it does it's job with ease. The front wheel has three settings which determines how far down the blade cuts and the blade has two settings for edging or trenching. The handle is stationary but it can be lifted up or down. There's a guideline on top of the blade guard that helps identify where the blade is going to make the cut. TIP: Lean it back on the back wheels before pulling the trigger and slowly bring it down because it will jump if the blade isn't lined up and touches the concrete. It doesn't roll well in the grass but it's very smooth when rolled on the concrete. It's definitely worth having to give a clean and finished look. It's well built and isn't too heavy but definitely has some weight to it. It's only loud when the blade hits the concrete otherwise it sounds like a drone. The only complaint I have is that I have to watch the cord closely other than that it's the perfect tool to give a clean look to the yard.

Great product for the $$$$
This edger is awesome. Easy to put together. Intuitive. I put it together inside of 10 minutes. Shifted the edger "guide" down, and went to work. This corded electric model is WAYYY cheaper than the battery powered (or gas powered) models, and is absolutely up to the task. Lightweight and maneuverable. Quiet. Easy to store. The motor got a little "bound" when I tried to edge too fast, but the manual had clearly warned me on this - to back up, let the blade get back up to speed, and then edge again. The lawn edges are now straight, well-defined, and immaculate.
