New Work

 

As promised here are some photos of a few pieces I’m currently working on.  The first photo in each group shows a painting in progress, while the second shows the sketch on which it is based.

 

I do my sketches in ball point pen and start them by scribbling on the page.  Using the lines of the scribbles as a framework, and giving my intuition as free reign as possible, I continue the sketch by favoring and darkening certain lines, creating new ones, and defining space.  The result is a collection of enigmatic shapes and forms working to articulate themselves in an uncertain space. 

 

Using a projector, I then transfer the sketch onto a panel or canvas.  After this, I begin the actual painting process by applying several transparent layers, which is the stage where most of these pieces are at presently.  Stay tuned for further developments…
