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-Portrait-Ricci

Ricci

Ricci was a portrait done of my babysitters grandson. That was his last name. What struck me about the subject was his tenderness- he was on the verge of possibly becoming something harder- but he wasn't there. He was so tender he could break your heart. I asked him to sit however he was comfortable, and so he flipped the chair around and took this pose. This painting was done in a sitting. There was no time to lose.
