| Still Life Paintings and Drawings The month of April inspired the first in an on-going series of acrylic on canvas still life paintings and drawings in charcoal & pastels on paper. For me a still life is like a theatrical stage: the objects -- glass vases, bowls, bones, fruits, leaves... all have the presence of players in a silent drama or comedy of color, shape, line, and spatial relations. The same object, like a gifted character actor, can reappear in multiple works once elegant, then intense and agitated, later defined and stolid.
As with the Trios series, I find much challenge and stimulus from working in series, gardening the same modest plot for maximum yields. Purchasing Paintings

Monotype Prints
Trios is an exhibit of 20 monotypes ( 10 left for sale ) Each one-of-a-kind print employs the same constants: paper size (15"x 23"), a triptych composition, and three primal shapes—circle, triangle, and square. Though seemingly formal and impersonal in concept, I found as I worked with this series over the past year that the geometric shapes took on a life of their own. Letting intuition and spontaneity lead, permutations of order, scale, color and texture generated an ever-changing landscape of psychic life.
