Point Reyes Open Studios

For the last couple of years I decided taking another direction in my oil paintings, away from figures acting out a narrative. I chose to follow my desire to delve into landscapes of the mind. Constantly fascinating me is the play of oil paints shifting under a slashing stroke, changing shape, mixing with an adjacent color. Attacking the canvas with paint scrappers, fingers, always reaching for light in the textures of the paints, then something taps me on the shoulder, saying “Enough! That’s it.”
