Working with Color Pencil
Working with color pencils has captured my attention. The light shining through the color bands of this sketch strikes sustained harmonic effects. Pleasing. With this pencil sketch I explored the effect of using repetitive patterns with slight variations in width to create movement. I believe that seeing a recent exhibition of Bridget Riley’s stripe paintings…

Next?
“An artist is someone who sits down and does it,” said the art teacher. I’m often confronted with a starting point at the far edge of a lengthy gap of time between work. Fretting happens, but I can’t waste my time thinking what “should” I do after that last work. I have to begin anew…

blue
blue. blue next to blue. lighter, darker, smaller, bigger, thinner, wider. differently blue. blue variations. each so staunchly owning its blue. the white? openings… I am struck by how firmly each blue piece possesses its blue shade. As if there’s no interaction with its neighbors. Illusion. Strong independent parts, separately and together, create the various events…

How did that happen? The red. Asserted. And the bars? Curving. More. Then higher. The sway of red. The why. Moving on.

Serial Reflections
Walking creates an arc. Moving forward. The swing of a torso. Time and space reflected. Humming. Leading. Opening. Color is the present. Similarly. Movement forward. Thinking time and space. Steady hum. Leading slowly. Opening. Color still marks the present. Intent. On the upswing. Angling for time and space. Sustained hums. Leading. Quiet urgency. Color makes…

An open and unfocused mind has its benefits. I now attest to it being a perfect state to spy two random images and join them in significance. In such a state, I realized I was making art between a heart and a tiny photo of my mother. I can’t recall exactly when I pasted the…

Creativity and Semiconductors
Isn’t that how it goes sometimes? You’re trying to get to a specific place, it’s taken you forever, you’ve finally made it to the right street, you’re so close, but it’s a one-way street. And you have to go around the block or blocks yet again, and maybe again. That’s the way it was after…

On the Move
Still remaining inspired by a Greek sculpture of a woman walking, I find myself less attached to clarifying this pursuit using cut-out paper. But, not wholly abandoning cut-outs. On the work painted directly on board or paper, I enjoy seeing how the colors interact when so closely aligned. When I paint using tape on board,…

Two Hard Edges
Two lines to two hard edges! It’s a hard-edge painting! A hard-edge painting with a conceptual base. I used a protractor, blue painter’s tape, and a brush! I painted on a clayboard. The feel of the acrylic paint on the board is so smooth! The color so vibrant! I am happy with it (minor problems…

One Moment to the Next
I think I know what I want to express…now, after a lengthy period of investigation. I say “I think” because I haven’t done it yet, and, well, things can easily slip back to an investigation mode. Investigation being the creation of a pot full of possibilities. Possibilities being stimulating and addictive. This problem began with…
