for another blog post.

It is now the beginning of February and my timeline for applying to a few juried competitions is drawing near. Recently I’ve begun making more drawings which support my sketchbook work and paintings. I look forward to chipping away at this manifesting vision of abstract landscapes which contain neither imagery nor lettering, in favor of attempts at translating an atmosphere which is in flux and transition. I can’t say for sure right now how this will pan out but the paintings might be getting more crisp and graphic as a reflection of the drawings…in contrast to the previous NO. series which have quite a lot of thin overpainting and a misty colorized dynamic.

As I continue to explore why my marks are expressed in the way that they are it is becoming clear that these angles are in relation to both light/ shadows and earthly terrain/ flora. Even though my work has gone down in scale due to necessity I feel that the vertical frame of reference is my ally in attempts to create dynamic compositions. Some day it will be a kick to take this approach back up to a larger scale and see where it goes.
