VIEW PAINTINGS
My paintings are imbued by my travels, literature, various martial pursuits, time in the ocean, a day with my Daughter & at times, the various color relationships of my Wife’s auburn hair, backlit by the sun.
Each Individual piece begins with a rigorously knifed body of paint. Once a sufficiently robust ground is achieved, an initial “drawing” element is applied, demarcating a potential formal composition. Generally, the work will then be set aside for a time. Eventually, aqueous layers of paint are applied & once dry, sanded into, revealing a history of motion & interaction.
