2019

These two paintings were completed simultaneously in 2019 as an integral pair, designed to be shown alone or together.  The painting style incorporates a combination of numerous layers of color.  Each layer was applied with a technique that utilized a stirring stick rather than a brush.  A single layer consisting of one color was applied and allowed to dry thoroughly before proceeding with a new layer.  In this way, the layers were kept clearly separated and cleanly intersect where they meet.  Further, the use of a stick for application allowed the creation of very thin, continuous lines.  The results are paintings that are fully realized across the canvas.  As in many of the more recent works, the observer is not drawn to a predetermined thought but can move about the mind freely. The paintings were completed using semi-gloss, latex enamel house paint on primed canvas and each measure approximately 3 ft. by 4 ft.
