These recent paintings, acrylic on canvas, 30” x 40”, are from a series I completed in late 2018 and early 2019. In order of their position, top to bottom, their titles are:
“Dance With Me”
“The Writing on the Wall”
“Vitally Yours”
“Storm Light”
“Apparitions”
“Chinese Vision”
“Heaven’s Hill/Angel Light”
They’re each priced at $1,000. (Except for “Storm Light” which isn’t for sale.) Please contact me directly for purchasing details.
A word about these works: While they’re clearly abstract and non-representational, and while they show some of the influence on me of the New York School, I don’t abide by any philosophical or aesthetic principles per se in my work. Besides loving the work of the New York Abstract Expressionists, I must acknowledge the continuing impact on me of the most primitive art on the Planet, as well as my love and study of Asian art and Zen Buddhism. The spontaneity and unplanned use of my particular vernacular of marks, signs, and symbols is always a delightful discovery to my eye once a work is completed. Let your imagination play!
