Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.

The work is displayed from the most to the least recent. The objective paintings are primarily concerned with natural forms and the way they merge and emerge in space. The more abstract mixed media work done thus far deals with the way forms interact and appear to dissolve into and replace one another. The tapestry like effect that results from disintegrating layers,laid side by side, has consistently drawn my attention. I see the objective and abstract work as related- different ways of observing natural phenomena. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

Painting-Landscape-Papaya

Papaya

"Papaya" is an oil painting on prepared board. Large papayas like this one remind me of the years I spent in Mexico. They are usually bruised. Heavy. Their skins are thin and delicate- providing little protection for the massive ripe fruit within. This piece has gone through many changes. The last was the inclusion of the water, or river-like area on the right. Papaya as earth form.
