Current Project

I’m currently working on a seven panel project that will measure approximately 40 in tall x 14 ft. long. After an extensive underdrawing, I’m now painting in oils.

Small Work Completed

Aside from a few details, this painting is done. Untitled as of yet.

Oil and wood on paper mounted on board. 12″x12″

Boat is assembled, being prepped for painting

Much more work is needed on both the painting and the boat, but things are coming along on this as yet untitled 12″x12″ work. 

An Older Work

This painting, called Belknap Street Yards is oil with gas fire on panel.

I’ve been trying some new things lately, but after seeing some of my earlier work at my show, The Arrow That Flies By Day here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I’ve come to realize that while trying for something different is often times needed, it doesn’t always work out. My older work is just generally better. I’m grateful I was able to see much of this work for the first time in years in some cases, as it gave me a new perspective on my strengths and weaknesses as an artist, which is exactly what I needed. I’m excited for the work ahead.

Opening Night at My Show, The Arrow That Flies By Day

Open through January 21.

New Project

4′ wide by 6′ tall on canvas. Another 3D work which will incorporate built wooden structures based on industrial scale docks as once found on Lake Superior. I’m utilizing hundred-year-old blueprints for their construction. This work will focus on time and to some extent, cycles.

Beginning New Work

I continue my interest in specific structures set against the painted surface. Here we have the pilings of what will eventually be a bridge.

Flowers

In progress. I’ll now focus on completing the building.

Boat Hull Taking Shape

Things are taking shape. Of course, finishing the boat is just the beginning. Once completed I’ll then ruin it, set it in the painting, and then begin salvaging/repairing it.

    We are honored for the opportunity to curate and present this dialogue between Eric Lee’s ‘Verehrung’ and Robert Marinelli’s refined and sophisticated furniture line. Robert Marinelli’s timeless vision creates an intimate and warm space which invites one to experience Eric Lee’s prolific narrative across five panels. The common theme of subdivision and similar color palettes are reflected in both Robert Marinelli’s furniture and Eric Lee’s painting, creating a comprehensive aesthetic that marries the design elements of the space.
