I’ve had the opportunity to finish up and document the rest of the paintings and drawings from the PB-TC (Paint Batch Test Card) series. The paintings amounted to 20 pieces and the drawings ring in at 43 sheets. This series has been rather fun for me and challenging to the extent that they all riff on the same theme. Basically that theme is making a mark and recording an atmosphere, with structure and time. (subconscious or uncontrolled events)

This continuity of the abstract landscape has been developed by process and guided imagery like most of the works which predate this series.

The initial contrast of the diagonal opacity measuring pattern has been pushed and pulled around quite a bit with these works. At times some pieces might more closely resemble a portion of an atmospheric landscape from the past, with the Test Card Pattern being more subdued. I enjoy the freedom to let this element come and go with continued experimentation. Perhaps the next efforts will be something entirely new, but in any case if time is kind to me more paintings and drawing will be made.
