It’s been a long while since I posted snapshots of my work on this blog. I’ve been painting when I am able to and have made many paintings. This is the newest painting I’ve completed.
My new painting for my favorite time of year:

What is inner, raw and wild, is made material, colorful, condensed and focused. Senses float on blood to the heart, transmuted to images and intercepted on materials of the earth, selectively revealed. Fascination is a force which, emanating from the spirit of the fascinator, enters the eyes of the fascinated person and penetrates their heart. Solitary Beings nestled in hollows of charged scenery amidst ineffable symbols: floral-vegetal-biological-mineral-synthetic efflorescence.
