Acrylic painting on canvas
48 x 60 inches
A contrasting palette of warm and cool. This work is inspired by the moment when new
life emerges from darkness into the light. The theme is echoed in the innocent forms
and fresh brushstrokes. The composition is natural and harmonious. The work expresses
an energy that is bold yet free from pretension.
A brilliant palette of bright creamy oil paint applied with a knife. This work melds sharp edges with softened texture into a balanced composition. The quiet contrast seems suspended in a reflective atmosphere of clarity. Positive wisdom resides here.
This painting documents the creative ritual of transformation. It was inspired by the process of growing old. In the words of Harold Rosenburg, the piece is an artifact. It emphasizes the creative act from which it was born. The act is equivalent to love and war in magenta and red. Resistance and tension cause the colours and forms to fade into an ever-evolving composition.
This piece was inspired by the courage to learn to swim as an adult. The complimentary colours create a mood of tranquility, yet they are ripe. Like the ability to overcome fear is, when you are thirsty to thrive. Lanes of brushstrokes and undulating forms create a fluid composition, expressing freedom in motion.
