PAINTINGS
CATTLE SERIES
Cattle are symbols of the pastoral American mythology we all carry in our collective subconscious, regardless of whether or not we have first hand experience with them.
In painting terms, the forms of cattle provide an opportunity to explore mass and shape, as well as color, texture and composition, their rectangular geometry creating contrast to the organic landscape serving as the base.
ROOSTER SERIES
As a subject, the rooster provides the basic elements of painting:
surface, shape, texture, pattern and color. It is also a regional
icon and powerful metaphor for energy and genesis.
LANDSCAPE SERIES
These paintings are my interpretations of the landscape I have encountered.
AMERICANA SERIES
This figurative series reflects my interest in an uniquely American folklore.
NARRATIVE SERIES
This is a series of pictures which may appear to be about something specific, but on the other hand may not be.
NUDE SERIES
A renewed appreciation of the natural environment led me to explore the undulating shapes and contours in nature
echoed in the human form.
PORTRAITS
These are commissioned portraits.
