I love the organic mixing of colors, transition without edge-- but then also two straight-ish ("ish" because when you look close you see the imperfections) lines that scream their artifice and organize space. I'm playing with this two, my latest piece I called "open bound" to describe the bothness.

"one of the wipe-off-the-palette-knife ones" Yes! How big is it?

Thanks. I think I want to experiment using different tape. Also remembering to remove the tape pretty soon after I've done the painting part using full bodied paint.

What's your technique for making hard edge straight lines? (If you don't mind sharing). I brush the general line area with matte acrylic medium then put down art tape after medium has dried. Then heavy body acrylic paint. I've had mixed results. I like the looks of your triangles and straight lines.

I love your patel and acrylic on paper series. How big are they? Are they oil pastels?

So good. How big is it?

I love working in a square format. I feel the balance the square shape provides as liberatory. I love the play of the black strokes which feel like living organisms on the white, textured background.

This has both movement and stillness. Everything is in its place except when it is not. And those places are so interesting to me. Like here:

Glad you used a 3M respirator; I use one as well. My question more clearly: did you put something down to block the spray from hitting everywhere? Like tape, or a piece of wood, metal etc to create those straight edges?

So great. Did you use some kind of mask before applying the spray paint?

Haha, me too. It's interesting to see ideas expressed across time though, whether intentional or not.

This reminds me of a theme in a subset of Jasper Johns' work. This piece featured on your web site even more.
