In your beauty, how to make paintings. Certainly in my work the list of influences, just from other painters, would be staggering long. No, I can't make any claims to originality, but perhaps in coming to the end of the most mind-boggling century in history, a touch of retrospective synthesizing can be a little good thing. The primary engines driving my picture-making are scribbling and color. This most elemental mark-making builds delightful complexities, layer upon layer, in its unencumbered dance.
Color is sheer energetics.
The vibrational frequency of colors lift our spirits, play with our emotions and are quite literally constantly changing our minds. Isolating color from its association to a thing allows us to more clearly sense its psychological and spiritual impact and probe its powerful mystery. You can oberve a lot just by looking. Abstract essentially means to select from . My art is not selected from anything, any object.
