Nightscapes are a bridge across recurring themes in my work.
They have an element of mystery but also a grounded tangibility to them as well.

Here are the stages of development for “Fusion”, oil on canvas, 20”x10”, private collection. 🔴
This is my arm but it could be anyone, anyone who has looked down and felt vulnerable, that utter reliance on others to help us heal.
I’m still dealing with Long Covid but painting is a lifeline.

Painting stained glass is like creating by 20 small paintings in one. Each section are little islands in a stream…they all must connect & cohere for the painting to flow. ♾️

Here are some progress shots of “The Sunfish”. A finished painting is only one moment of its lifetime. I love all the interstitials too.
There’s a photo of my palette too, during the process :)
