Right Intention, 30"x30", acrylic

The rough surface of Right Intention was built up over two seasons, through fall into winter. The first pentimento was overwhelmingly autumnal; the vivid colors and patterns over rode the subltler qualities I was attempting to develop. This final piece, probably the fourth layer, was completed during the coldest stretch of winter that I can remember. Despite the physical cold that surrounded me in the studio, there is a paradoxical cool warmth in the final version. You can find more information here.

Principle II, 36" x 36"


In late summer the days, both hot and then cool, left their imprint in shimmering joyful colors. The layers in this painting changed daily until it seemed to breathe on its own. How can that be?
