Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.

The work is displayed from the latest to earlier work. Recent objective paintings are primarily concerned with natural forms and how they merge and emerge in space. In the more abstract mixed media work I have been interested in how materials that are "known" to be different, actually have similar structures which appear when juxtaposed. They blend. There is something of tapestries in this effect. The 2-D paintings are observations of three dimensional forms in space, while the 3-D works are primarily about surface. I like this flip-flop, which was not intentional, but observed. The two ways of working are closely related- different ways of perception, perhaps of the same phenomena. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

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.
