2008 was dominated by six distinctly different themes:
TheConversation: A focused on women grouped together in non-verbal dialogue. This underlines my interest in social isolation.
Blue Room Mediations was an exploration of the human form and movement. For this I used my friend Debora as the model. A woman who, herself is an amazing artist and a fine dancer.
The Green Room series was another exploration of internal dialogs, but this time in a unified place that flavored and deepened the overall mood.
What If: A warning about being carless with the environment. Each painting takes the drastic possibilities to the extreme. What appears to be desert scenes are sea seascapes after the oceans have disappear.
The Unbound: By the middle of 2008 my work took on a looser feel and this was by design. I set aside my pencil and my desire to create a detailed sketched before painting began, and instead picked embraced charcoal which allows one to quickly sketches a subject and also capturing more of the mood and emotion of the moment. During the painting process I allowed the charcoal to merger and at times muddy the inks
The Man with the Green Umbrella just showed up. A mysterious man. First in crowd scenes, then on his own. Hunter or hunted? Lost soul? Or a man with a purpose?
