horizon study 2 - 2008
This next painting was completed approximately 2 years ago. I was in the middle of some fairly stressful life events yet I was able to take the time to paint this image to help stay grounded. It encapsulates some of the techniques that signify my style at the time: primarily the gradations and the solidified drips along the side of the canvas revealing the process of production. Interestingly enough, the drips often generate more conversation than the actual composition. Over time I had learned to embrace this as a larger commentary on "process versus product" or "journey versus destination".

Yummy, pretty and surreal...this one makes me think about food, decor and unusual sights. The deep browns make me think of spices in Morrocan cooking, cinnamon, cumin, cardamon, really warming and flavorful. The white in contrast is so creamy, it made me long for vanilla ice cream. The drips on the edge look like the edge strands on a colorful table cloth and the blue-green strip reminds me of a glacial lake... slightly surprising. mmmmm
