Artist statement
The diptych Village in a Tree is a signed and wired multilayered acrylic painting on two unattached cradled panels, totalling 24 x 48 inches in size. The dominant colors are camel, gold, yellow, and veridian. The edges of the cradles are lightly varnished to be compatible with the painting and the surface is protected with a light coat of satin polymer varnish. As with all my abstract paintings, Village in a Tree is inspired by my love of nature, color, and music, and the patterns, music, and colors of nature. I call my style biomorphic abstract expressionism. There is no specific preconceived image as I begin a painting, but there are goals: I work to the end of pleasing a viewer with an organic artwork that is mysterious yet somehow familiar, is exciting and kinetic and calming all at once, is untethered from the laws of nature but still harmonious and balanced, a painting that one can live with and see something new with each viewing. The soft explosion of gold and yellow inVillage in a Tree engenders a happy feeling in all who view it.
