Addicts' Dreams

The array of addictions is legion, including, but not limited to chocolate, swirled ice cream, beautiful people, news reports, the internet and roulette. The common element in all addictions, be they benign or malign, is the longing for perfection. Here, the artist arranges the elements of the painting so that they hint at, point towards an experience of perfection.

Blank Moment

The rectangle smolders with a dark, sultry, red-spectrum energy. These are configurations which communicate an important presence after sunset.

Blue Blatherings

We take brief excursions into the domain of blueness. Those casual forays keep us safely away from the deeper oratory of tragedy. The mood is mobile, shifting. An experiment in blue, and then on to the next hue.

Blue Room

The images of the Blue Room let us know that there is room for blue in our day, along with a number of other moods. The natural collection of rounded forms suggests elements for construction.

Challanged Times

The challenge of our times is to strip away the excessive, the redundant, and the misleading. With that accomplished we experience the essence of the situation. The artist has successfully represented that process. The image lures us in with its lean, graphic wisdom.

Chick

Multiple ovals and circles represent the basic forms of early life. The chick might spring from the protecting spheres, embarking on a new journey. These images lead us toward movement, renewal, hope, and emerging possibility.

lchooseyou

A robust rectangle occupying an unexplained intersection. To what destination do the roads travel? The allure of travel rests in the surprises which we will experience.

Jab

Packets of energy are the theme. This is an experience of yet-to-be-connected elements. They are the parts of the greater whole which will emerge at the proper moment.

Neon Ramblings

A splash of exuberance. The figure is trimmed with brightness. The strokes hint at motion.

Ruddy Cynic

Circular patterns radiate out, east and west. A halo of light surrounds the circular forms. Imagine movement.

 

Shopaholic Voices

The voices of the shopaholics soothe and comfort each other. The images affirm the golden glow of meaningful acquisition, while the purple section hints at the longing for royal status. The shopaholic and the learned collector can easily change places.

Skinny Life

The mood is flippant, casual. Spontaneity rules the moment. The image conveys the attitude of unwinding, perhaps before the more serious venture.

SMS Confessions

Defining a target is not always easy. There are distractions, imperfections. We need to clear away the extraneous.

Sunrise

This is a basic, elemental configuration. The work is an exercise in both simplicity and contrast. There are echoes of an Asian influence. That which we see has been trimmed to its robust essence.

Tadpole

This image suggests an in-between state, something transitional, as the tadpole itself. Ahead is the amphibian, a creature adapted for life in two environments. Do we live in multiple environments?

Violet Pad

We are confronted with the reality of fissures. Sometimes the world is whole, and at other times it splits into sections. We have a choice. Accept the fragmentation, or work to restore unity.

Tea Leaves

The swirling, distributed pattern of tea leaves tells a story about what has gone before. Come to this picture for a sense of soothing refreshment.

Wax

Wax combines qualities which are felt to be opposites. On the one hand it easily takes an impression. On the other, it maintains its form for long spans of time. This image shapes itself to the needs of your environment.
