The building blocks of motion, proportion, and the energy of the now are fitted into that groundwork. Life is full of contradictions and surprises, we manage to limit ourselves in so many ways in spite of the endless potential that surrounds us. Nature has so much to offer and I respond to it best as I place myself in its presence. It makes no difference if it is the model or the landscape, the profound exercise of observation and processing the energy of the moment allow me to respond in a manor that helps my understanding. My current body of work includes both land and cloud forms as well as paintings of the human figure, and they are all placed on an under-painting of concentric circles. It pleases me to see how the infinity of the outdoor scenes can be contained and comprehended more easily and how the nude human form feels so much less exposed and vulnerable as they are woven in to the fabric of the composition. |
